  5. Essay: Sitting in judgment

    The word is "wodge" &mdash; and it explains everything.
    The word is "wodge" — and it explains everything. Wodge is a wonderful word. A playful word. Fun to say, fun to write, fun to see on the page. Had it not already existed, Dr. Seuss surely would have invented it. I first heard it a few years ago,...

  6. Robert Edwards dies at 87; Nobel winner for first 'test-tube baby'

    About 10% of married couples suffer from infertility &ndash; the inability to conceive a child naturally. Through the better part of the 20th century, physicians considered this a minor and perhaps irrelevant problem, one that contributed overall to society by keeping the birthrate down.

  8. Why a Holocaust center in the O.C.?

    If you were wondering, well, so was I: how is it that Elie Wiesel, the renowned Nobel Peace Prize laureate and Holocaust survivor and author, came to be an annual fixture on the campus at Orange County&rsquo;s Chapman University, founded as a Protestant institution of the Disciples of Christ?

  11. Elie Wiesel, history's witness

    It was a fine April day last week that found Elie Wiesel at Chapman University; it was a fine April day too, 58 years earlier, when the gaunt, teenage Wiesel found himself alive and suddenly free to walk out of the Buchenwald concentration camp. In the decades since, Wiesel's impassioned writing and speaking have won him a Nobel Peace Prize, and a large place in the public intellectual discourse about the Holocaust and the human condition. They have also brought him to Chapman each spring for the last three years as a distinguished presidential fellow, meeting with students and faculty to keep the significance of the Holocaust green in their minds.
