(UFRGS - 2000)
"Shakespeare in Love" is a witty, sexy and merrily literate delight, with an enormously clever premise that only gets better as the film 1funfolds. The screenplay, originating as Marc Norman's brainstorm and turned by Tom Stoppard 2into a 3razor-sharp dialogue reminiscent of his "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead", dares to imagine 4whatever it likes about the link between Shakespeare's artistic passions and his mad yearning for a certain aristocratic beauty. Meanwhile, this 5tirelessly inventive comedy envisions an Elizabethan theatre filled with the same backbiting and conniving we enjoy today and has great fun presenting the creation of "Romeo and Juliet " problems and all.

HOW ARE YOUR GENES?
1 Some 200,000 babies are born in the United States each year with deformed bodies, impaired minds and possibly fatal abnormalities in body chemistry - often because of defective genes or chromosomes. If a way could be found to "test" routinely the genes of prospective married couples - much as the couples now take Wassermann tests to detect syphilis - the toll might be reduced drastically. This is the goal of genetic counseling. And while it is still far off - testing is expensive and elaborate - genetic counseling centers in hospitals and clinics across the United States are already helping parents. Such centers help the parents of a defective child in their decision whether or not to have more children, and they advise couples with family histories of genetic diseases even before marriage.
2 The genes that help determine a person"s individual characteristics - from the color of his eyes to the score he makes on an IQ test - are located on chromosomes within the cells of his body. Half of a person"s chromosomes come from his father, half from his mother. Many diseases are the result of a single defective gene on one of the chromosomes. Achondroplastic dwarfism, for example, is caused by a dominant gene and any child who inherits it will have the disease. A genetic counselor confronted by a parent with such a disease could warn that half of his children risk the disease. More often, genetic diseases are caused by recessive genes. The most common is cystic fibrosis, a disorder that affects at least one in every 1,600 babies and causes their lungs and other body organs to become congested with mucus. A child who inherits only one of these recessive genes will not have the disease, but will be a carrier. If both parents are carriers, one in four of (2) their children will have cystic fibrosis, two will be carriers, and one will be normal.
3 Some diseases, (1) such as the blood clotting disorder, hemophilia, are sex-linked recessive defects carried on the female X chromosome. These genes generally produce disease only in male children when the X chromosome bearing the (3) faulty gene pairs with the fathers Y chromosome. Half the sons of a female hemophilia carrier risk the disease; half the daughters may be carriers.
4 Until recently, much of genetic counseling has relied on estimates based on the law of averages. But researchers have begun to develop lab tests for carriers. There are blood, urine and other tests which show promise in detecting more than 100 genetic diseases, including cystic fibrosis, phenylketonuria (PKU), hemophilia and some forms of muscular dystrophy. As a result, a genetic counselor can tell the sister of a man with hemophilia with reasonable certainty whether she is a carrier.
5 Researchers are also detecting genetic defects even before a child is born. By amniocentesis, a process in which a needle is inserted through the mothers abdomen and into her uterus, researchers can withdraw samples of the fluid surrounding the fetus. By growing these fetal cells in tissue culture, researchers can detect chromosome defects or chemical abnormalities. "Intra-uterine detection," notes Dr. Henry L. Nadler of Northwestern University Medical School, "brings a new dimension to genetic counseling. The physician may now inform the parents that they will have either an affected or a normal child."

LEARNING TO THINK
Asians (I) proud of how well they educate their children. Thanks to the prodding of their determined parents, Asians score highest in science and math in worldwide comparisons. But from Tokyo to Taipei and Singapore, governments are realizing their children are so overstressed and overtested that they are ill equipped for the Information Age, (II) thinking and creativity hold a premium. Reform-minded educators share a similar complaint: ask a Korean student to write a creative essay or a Japanese student to pose a challenging question and or a Hong Kong student to even ask a question and, more often than not, they will be unable to stray from the script.
Two years ago Kishore Mahbubani, a senior official in Singapore, posed a challenging question at a conference: "Can Asians think?" It was a remarkable moment of self-doubt. For years, Singapore's leaders had been 1crowing about the advantages of Asian values, the idea that order in schools and government alike works better in Asia than Western-style freedom. But across Asia, that approach (III) efficient, obedient workers (IV) let their bosses do the thinking for them. Governments merrily invested in production lines and gleaming skyscrapers, and even school buildings, but skimped on developing modern teaching methods and training teachers. The result: Asia's schools (V) so neglected that in many countries kids attend for half-day sessions in classrooms so crowded they are ready to bust. Asian students are too busy memorizing deadening answers to learn to think. In too many Asian classrooms, thinking actually 2gets in the way.
