‘I Can’t Think of Any Obstacles’
Battered by cystic fibrosis, she had her first surgery at age 7 and a lung transplant at 13. Although she was in and out of hospitals for all of her 21 years, Leslie Hotson didn’t let the struggle to live get in the way of having a life. BY Jocelyn Wiener

On the Waterfront
At the South Street Seaport Museum, Peter Neill collects and houses America’s nautical past and the origins of New York’s heritage. It’s the perfect job for a born storyteller. BY Ray Isle

The Originality of Species
Is Darwin’s theory of sexual selection large enough to explain ‘exceptional’ sexual behavior? Biologist Joan Roughgarden says no, and her new book suggests an outright abandonment of the fundamental tenet she says promotes bad science and social injustice. BY Bob Moser
