There's no earthly reason why a studio of Pixar's haft should make a film like
WAU.. E. Luxuriously in the black on every film they've ever made, they have many
delighted shareholders and a new boss to keep happy now that they're officially part of
the Disney empire, and a trusting audience whose largesrcomplaint to date has been
that some of their films have failed to be instantly classic and merely managed 10 be very,
very good. In the animation world they're unparalleled in witty dialogue and nice
shiny textures, and everyone would probably be happy to devour more
iD
of the same for years to come. Well, thank goodness that Pixar
appears to have lost some of its business sense, and made a film
that's like nothing we'd expect, except in its quality. - That WAll- E is such a triumph sets a new precedent for Pixar.

This

means that a simple buddy comedy, even one as
intelligently and expertly crafted as Ratatouille, might seem
unambitious as a follow-up. We'll now expect surprise as well
as delight. You've raised the bar, Pixar: now jump it again.

There is a dragon in the lavatory. It is a gianl: nine feet
long and broad shouldered, with its dark, scaly head. It is
drinking from the bowl and [urns in a series of lumbering
movements towards me, ils forked tongue stabbing al tbe

my lip to check I'm still awake. After travelling for three

Kim. clearly feeling the need for action, too. "Let's do a

for 'a straight line'. The Reef Check approach to the global
coral crisis was pleasingly simple: we were going to swim in

rhu1ician in the world.
o
Louis ArmstroQg's creativity changed all this. His
individual virtuosity led to increasing calls for solos,
which eveOiiIany doomed the old traditions and led to the
development of jazz as we know it today. He established
the pre-eminence of the virtuoso soloist
E
I1 was during one of these expeditions with this group that
he was arrested and sent to the Home for Coloured Waifs
for a time. This episode proved fateful as it was in this

72
After Joe left in 1917, the band broke up. Times were
tough, and, like many other musicians, Armstrong held a
variety of jobs, including driving a coal cart and later
a milk wagon. He continued to play comet in a number of
bands, sometimes filling in for other perfonneTS as he
gtaduMly-built up his reputation. He also played on the
r~erbo~lS, then plying their trade up and down the
Mississippi River.
c
lil Hardin, the band's classically trained pianist, worked
with Armstrong during this time and, with her
encouragement, he left Chicago to join the Aelcher
Henderson band. He returned to New Orleans the
following year to form his own band. It was also at this
lime that he switched from cornet to trumpet, For the
next three years he made a series of recordings, including
'Polato Head Blues', and 'HOlier Than ThaI', many of
which are today considered masterpieces of tone and
range.
F
Although his presentation style continually evolved,
Armstrong remained faithful to the sound that had first
established his reputation. The tonal beauty of his
playing, his instrumental range and melodic variation, all
helped to cement his fame as a master trumpeter.
However, it was his humour and extroverted style that
helped bring his name - and his panjcular approach to
jazz - to a wider audience. He died in N,w York on July
6th 1971, leaving his music and itS innovations to a new

The obvious objection is that such goals aren't meant to be completed, but to propel us
ever forwards. Yet in Nash and Stevenson's interview-based studies, the truly happy
weren't locked in constant striving after a single goal, even that of ~making the most of
your life~. Nor, though, were they living in ftwork-life balance~. That, the authors write, l
another unattainable target. Our multiple goals will naturally dash, and seeking a static,
permanent, clash-free state is a recipe for misery. For Nash and Stevenson's happy
people, by contrast, the secret of success was that there was no single secret. They had

Unwanted Guests
New York is the perfect city for a mini-break, says rim Geary. Just don " stay at my place.
I hate early autumn. I hate its deep blue skies and late
summer winds, its new plays and films, its alluring beauty.
J hate it because it means one thing: houseguest season in
New York. That doesn't mean I can hunt them (I wish),
but that they're here to visit. These guests never take on
~ January's biting winds or the swelter of mid-August. They
p(prefer to spoil the beautiful months. They want to torture
me now. Since I moved to New York from England in
1989, I have become accuslomed to chirpy midsummer
calls setting up visits in the fall. 'It's been loo long!' an old
friend will begin. I know what's coming next: 'So we
thOUght we'd come to New York!' 'Great!' I long to reply.
'Come for coffee. Ay in, fly out, I'm busy.' And yet,
because this man was my tennis partner in college or that
woman gave birth to me, I agree to have them to stay,
knowing as I speak the error of my ways.
The truth is that houseguests have no place in New
York City. More to the point, they should have no place
but they usually do - mine. Over the next three months, I
have twelve people coming to stay. I feel like the manager
~ at the Plaza, only less well dressed. It isn't that I'm mean.
R I know the pleasure found in staying with friends in Dallas
or Seattle. I appreciate being collected from the airport
and chauffe ured around my friends' cities. I recognise the
luxury in spreading out my clothes across the floor of a tidy
spare room.
But in New York there are few spare rooms. We live in
tiny apartments. We rarely have cars. We work at jobs that
don't permit leisurely lunches. More important, New
Yorkers choose a pace that is exclusively our own, finding
/ neighbourhoods and jobs and lovers to suit that style.
Houseguests. with their lazy hometown ways, arrive in our
apartments at a different speed. Like the specks of dirt
I \ that get stuck between the grooves of a CD, they interrupt
I 'the sound and rhythm of our days.
As any adult with parents knows, nothing interrupts a
life more Ihan having your fol ks back in it. My parents,
whom I love deeply from afar, are slaying with me now .

..
their~ne 39
The daylight hours are yet worse. Houseguests claimthey are keen to see how we live, yet they have no interest
in which grocer's mango is 20 cents cheaper or where to
find a dry cleaner that will protect your buttons with foil.
Instead, visitors expect to be presented with a New York
that isn't our own. They want to take cabs, not subways; to
meander along leafy streets, not be asked to jaywalk across
four-lane avenues; to run into Woody Alien at the ~
Carnegie Deli, not your chiropractor at the local diner.
They want to know when the Circle Line leaves or which
clubs offer techno on Mondays. If you don't know the
answers, they look at you as if you don't belong. The truth,
of course, is that New Yorkers take no interest in the
things tourists crave. We want to know where our
chiropractor buys his mangoes.
Occasionally, perfect houseguests do appear, stoppingby for a nighl or two to show the others up. They pack
lightly. They are not vegetarians or insomniaes-...TheyJjke .Jfil\

And they leave when they promise, or sooner. But they are
rare.
From next year on, I'm just going 10 say no. I realise
that while it is said that houseguesls, like fish, stay fresh for If9l

robot grabs a box and holds it out to a roboticist as he cleans up the lab. We may
consider it mindless work, but Aaron Edsinger says it takes intelligence for this robot
named Domo to lend a helping hand with household chores. "Our big goal is to have
the robot adapt to the world instead of having the world adapt to the robot," he says.
This is key, he says, because robots without artificial intelligence can currently
perform very complex tasks, like assembling an automobile; but they must be
taught beforehand exactly what to do. "A lot of the reaUy advanced robotics that
you see particularly coming out of Japan right now, these robots are very pre-
saipted," says Edsinger. ''The actions they're going to take are sort of figured out
beforehand. You hit play, and it sort of does the same thing over and over
again."

paragraphs AG the one which fits each gap (7.12). There is one extra paragraph which you do not need to use.
c
I went to Assam ~ to unwind and ~ r the
tranquil delights of the region, but the bhut jolokia (or
ghost chilli) wasn't far from my mind when I booked
the trip. Ever since I was tricked into eating a tiny
specimen in a Malawian food market, aged 17, I've
been perversely fascinated by the powerful pepper.
18 I
B
The park also has tigers and leopards and a huge
variety of bird life, but I was more interested in the
ghost chillies we discovered growing at a nearby
Mishing tribal village. They were not yet ~ - green
flesh with ominous traces of red - but it was our first
sighting and even Bertie, who would "under no
circumstance" be sampling the bhut jolokia, was
getting excited.
114
A
Our journey to Guwahati, Assam's largest city, took
us four days. In the mornings, we'd disembark. We
spent a few hours in a village called SualkuchL tracing
the silk-making process from worm to loom. At
Guwahati's Kamakhya temple, we got a dark thrill
from witnessing goats being sacrificed to -'8ti, the
wife of Lord Shiva. Our chilli hunt was less successful:
we scoured every market for bhut jolokia, but to no
avail. In the evenings we gathered in the sakN);o for a
drink with the captain, who offered me a tip for
surviving the bhut jolokia experience: "Eat lots of
sugar cubes."
E
The next day we reached Jorhat and set out for a
district where we had heard there was a chance of
finding some ripe specimens. We came upon a whole
field of bhut jolokia. As I held the monstrous, 9 ~d
fruit in my hand, my chilli quest began to seem like a
bad idea. But it was too late for second thoughts, so I
took a big bite, crunched the seeds between my teeth
and swallowed.
D
The worst of it was over within 20 minutes, but for
the next few hours I wondered if my mouth and head
would ever feel the same. The only consolation was
that Bertie finally SWWMbed to temptation and took
a bite. Assam, easy-going and hospitable, is a gentle
introduction to the delights of India. As for the ghost
chilli - the scourge. of elephants, the bane of the
unwary traveler - I think once is probably enough.
A Our next move was to hunt chilli down river and in the
afternoon we boarded a handsome passenger ship
that looked like a 1'etIt from the Raj. It usually
accommodates 24 passengers, but as this was the final
journey of the season, we were the only guests.
B Our conversation was interrupted by a ~g
sound from the far bank. Kaziranga National Park,
just across the river from the lodge, is home to twothirds of the world's great one-horned rhinos, and
three of them had come to say hello. We could only
make out the indistinct grey of their ~, but early
next morning, from the back of an elephant, we saw
lots more of them - an awesome sight.
C Assam is indeed a charming place, as serene as it is
lush and green, but it also harbours something so
fearsome, so fiendishly powerful, that even the
elephants fl ee from it in terror. There is nothing at all
serene about the bhut jolokia, the hottest chilli on
earth. 200 times hotter than Tabasco sauce, when you
bite into a bhut jolokia, there is no pain at first, only
a smoky flavour with an intense apple-like sweetness.
Then, after about 20 seconds, your mouth explodes. I
know this because I was foolish enough to try one.
