...just built the Imus Ranch for sick children, how he was particularly affected by Corey Grier, a natural leader, who was told by his doctors that his 16th summer would be his last. But Grier made it through the year and returned to Camp Sunshine for his 17th birthday. After celebrating with cake and ice cream, he got back into a helicopter, which did a 360[degree] turn so he could wave to 300 kids gathered on the football field. The very next day he died, Jordan told Imus. "These kids, they have taught us how to live and sometimes...

...would go hand in hand, but as director Martijn Hostetler '00 shows in his creation of Shakespeare's Troilus and Cressida, perhaps the two worlds are not so dramatically different after all.

In any case, it is definitely not true that I used to think Beowulf was a story about a wolf--a sort of companion piece to The Lion King or Bambi...

...child prodigy from Massachusetts, Lovins went to Harvard to study physics but decided he was beyond his professors. So he became "a 17th century thing--a general experimentalist," a fuzzy notion that, he says, Harvard found hard to accept. He transferred to Oxford, where he studied everything from climatology to biophysics, but when he wanted to write a thesis on energy-resource strategy, he was told to pick "a real subject." In frustration, he quit with a master's degree and began consulting, lecturing and writing...
