A new book explores the evolution and history of dogs.
So I'm in New York. I take a walk through our old neighborhood of Greenwich Village and, as so often is the case, a movie's being shot. Scottish actor James McAvoy (left) is on the sidewalk in front of the Acme Southern-food restaurant. He's starring in the film, called The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby—or rather, in two separate full-length films that explore the same story from the perspective of a husband and a wife, called The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Him and The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Her. I don't that either has a naturalist angle, but both sound artistically intriguing. And I like the Beatles.
