Bridge to Manhattan for an eagerly awaited appearance at the <I>What Is
Enlightenment</I><SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic">?</SPAN> magazine’s
international speakers forum, <I>Voices from the Edge</I>.

</I></SPAN>is in fact actually about Osama, Michael Jackson, and group IQ. But
in a style appropriate only to someone referred to as a “raconteur
extraordinaire,” Howard’s brilliantly chaordic presentation touches on sex,
violence, population biology, the reproductive habits of mice (and Medievals),
how ancient bacterium got their smarts, and the fate of civilization as we know
it. <o:p></o:p></FONT></SPAN></P>
