  2. As our languages make clear, context is a human specialty

    Is Bob your uncle? Probably depends on what language you're speaking. In Urdu, if Robert's your father's brother, he's your chacha — but not if he's your father's older brother (taaya), your mother's brother (mamu), your father's sister's husband...

  3. Tobacco taxes are great, but Proposition 29 stinks

  6. UC problem: When academics are advocates

    Political advocacy corrupts academic institutions. Why? Because the mind-set of a genuine academic teacher is in every important respect the opposite of a political activist's.

The one fosters intellectual curiosity and encourages opposing viewpoints; the latter seeks to shut it down.

  12. UC Santa Barbara gets $50-million gift from Oracle chairman

    UC Santa Barbara, according to old stereotypes, may still conjure up the image of a lush campus by the beach, where students can squeeze in a few hours of surfing after class and live in a nearby neighborhood that is one of the nation's best-known party zones. But in reality, UC Santa Barbara over the last three decades increasingly has become a center of scientific research, and its move in that direction was strengthened Saturday with the announcement of a $50-million private donation to energy efficiency research and engineering programs.
