Elsewhere

The Observer:
"When a child babbles, it's not just trying to get motor control," [Dartmouth neuroscientist Laura Ann Petitto] says. Babies are "literally trying to say the sounds" they hear, and trying to make sense of "the patterns of sounds in the world around them."
Stories also from CNN, the Salt Lake Tribune, the Boston Globe, and the Telegraph.

The Washington Post:
If the careful, unifying, well-spoken, Dartmouth-educated Carl McCall hasn't earned a shot at the [New York] governorship, who has? Anthony Weiner, a congressman who represents parts of Queens and Brooklyn, described McCall as "exactly the kind" of black politician that moderate white voters have always claimed to be looking for.
Also in the Post: "Top New York Democrats Face a Collision in Futility":
"I don't know anything about these guys," says Anna Blanchie, a lifelong Democrat who has pasted a Pataki sticker on her very minimal halter top. "Why vote against Pataki?"


The NY Times (carried by the SF Chronicle):
More than two months after a national advisory panel recommended vaccinating thousands of health care and emergency workers against smallpox as a precaution against a bioterrorist attack, state and local health officials are waiting for the government to announce its official policy... Now "it's a hurry up and wait" situation, said the panel's chairman, Dr. John F. Modlin of Dartmouth Medical School.


Sciencenews: "The new investigation indicates that left-brain networks assume primary responsibility for memories and knowledge about oneself, including the key visual distinction between 'me' and 'others,' says a team of neuroscientists led by David J. Turk of Dartmouth College"

allAfrica.com: Tuck prof. Richard d'Aveni writes on corporate "spheres of influence."

The Manchester Union Leader: On the Indians' quarterback prospects this season:
Early indications are fifth-year senior Brian Mann (6-2, 205 pounds) will be battling for the job with University of Wisconsin transfer Scott Willie (6-3, 205 pounds), a junior.

Though Mann, who missed last season with a broken hand, ranks fifth in school history with 2,999 passing yards, the bet here is that by midseason there�ll be a lot of cheese lovers on the Hanover campus.
