Features

Though the thought of a display full of dead bodies and the organs that fit within them may seem like Frankenstein's sideshow, Bodies Revealed, a truly scientific exhibition, is now on display at Union Station. Unlike Frankenstein's laboratory, the body parts are not bonded to form a monster but instead are tastefully presented for the public to get a leg up on anatomy.

As patrons tour the exhibit, each of the intricate systems that sustain life in the body is put on display, including the reproductive, digestive, and respiratory systems. The major distinction between this exhibit and other museums is the use of real corpses that have gone through a process of plastination.

Editorial: The Surge is Working, Sure

Everytime we hear someone say "the surge is working" about the US entanglement in Iraq, we want to ask, Working for what? We did plant a few thousand more American boots on the ground around Baghdad, so the Iraqi government could have a respite from all the domestic violence that was distracting them from coalescing and operating as a smooth working unit, like the U.S. Congress. But to what end?

(America's own government might accomplish more if a few thousand foreign troops - many hired subcontractors - flooded into DC and kept legislators from going at one another in partisan frenzies all the time, too.)
