Canines evolved puppy dog eyes to woo human companions
Wolves lack the facial muscles required to raise their eyebrows—a feature that makes dogs especially endearing to people. You know the look. Everyone does. The wide, winsome eyes; the forlorn, furrowed brow. It’s enough to melt your heart—and send your hand reaching for the treat bag.

According to new research published today in the journal PNAS, the allure of puppy dog eyes may ... more »

Harold Pinter was comparing our view of the Soviet Union and of Stalin’s crimes with America’s crimes; he was saying the main difference was that we know about the scale of Stalin’s crimes and know little about Washington’s. He was saying that the vast silence that enveloped our crimes — when I say, “our crimes,” I mean t... more »
