Dr. Bazil was more pleased with the results. After downloading the data about Dr. Foreman’s brain wa ves, Dr. Bazil found that Dr. Foreman had slept fo r 10 minutes out of a 23.5-minute ride. For three and a half minutes, Dr. Foreman reached a Stage 2 level of sleep. “It looks like it is definitely possible to get sm all amounts of restorative sleep on the subway, bu t only very small amounts,” Dr. Bazil said. He add ed that some studies show “even a brief nap that i ncludes Stage 2 sleep can improve performance.” But Dr. Foreman was less persuaded that he got any productive sleep. “I don’t feel rested,” he said. “It’s not like I to ok a nap in bed.” ~~~~~~~~~~ NYT-1208: EDITORIALS Not What Mr. Putin Planned The lesson of this week's election is that Russian s' patience is not unlimited and a surprising numb er can imagine a world after Vladimir Putin. ===== notyet Prime Minister Vladimir Putin of Russia has cynica lly dominated his country’s politics for the last 11 years and intends to do it for many more years to come. Given the way he has muzzled independent media and hobbled opponents, it looked as though n othing could challenge his reign. Then came Sunday ’s parliamentary election in which a surprising nu mber of voters made clear that they are tired of t he status quo and Mr. Putin. Mr. Putin’s party, United Russia, received just un der 50 percent of the votes. By Russian standards, that’s a stunning rebuke. What makes the numbers even more extraordinary is that Western election o bservers reported blatant and widespread fraud by
Putin supporters, including brazen stuffing of bal lot boxes. Not only did United Russia barely secur e a legislative majority — 238 seats out of 450, d own from 315 now — it had to cheat to do it. The Organization for Security and Cooperation in E urope said election administrators lacked independ ence and there was no free media to cover the camp aign. Some opposition parties were barred, and Uni ted Russia was given huge advantages over those th at could run. The United States needs Russia’s cooperation on a host of issues, most notably Iran, and the Obama a dministration made the right decision to try to “r eset” the relationship. But that can’t mean giving Mr. Putin’s authoritarian ways a pass. So it was good to hear Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Cli nton express “serious concerns” that the voting wa s neither free nor fair. Since then, Washington has said nothing about the government crackdown on protestors who have turned out by the thousands to denounce the electoral fr aud. More than 1,000 people have been detained, am ong them a number of prominent opposition figures. The administration needs to keep speaking out. It would certainly help to have an American ambassad or in Moscow, but Senator Mark Kirk, a Republican of Illinois, is still blocking the confirmation of Michael McFaul. Mr. Putin has promised to shuffle the government n ext year. What he really needs to do is listen to voters who are demanding a real chance at politica l competition and economic opportunity. Unfortunat ely, he has long ago made clear his disdain for de mocracy. And while his approval ratings have decli ned, they remain, for now, above 60 percent. But t he lesson of this week’s election is that Russians ’ patience is not unlimited — and a surprising num ber can imagine a world after Putin.
