His new study demonstrates how this adaptability boils down to a zero-sum game. Read the complete story.

Lee Hamilton: A statesman comes home
The Indianapolis Star, Aug. 17 -- After nearly a half-century, Lee Hamilton is packing his books, sorting his papers and preparing to head home to Indiana. Since he arrived in Washington as a freshman congressman elected in the 1964 Democratic landslide, Hamilton has chaired some of Congress' most influential panels -- the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the Intelligence Committee, the Joint Economic Committee, the Iran-Contra inquiry -- and led or served on the nation's top blue-ribbon commissions investigating issues including the Iraq war and the Sept. 11 attacks.

USA Today, Aug. 16 -- The report sets as a primary goal learning how the first stars formed, finding the "closest habitable Earth-like planets beyond the solar system," and probing "dark energy," the mysterious force accelerating expansion of galaxies apart from one another throughout the cosmos. "So much is going on in astronomy, it's a golden age," says astronomer Catherine Pilachowski of Indiana University in Bloomington. "I think they did a terrific job. Far more than in past reports, they have thought about budgets and how we are actually going to build these projects." Full story.
