...won’t find a McDonald’s nearby, you can come pretty close with a meal at Flat Patties (81 Mt. Auburn Street), a fast food restaurant in the Garage owned by the same people who run Felipe’s. The meat will fall apart as you try to eat it, but the burgers are nonetheless delectable. The fries are small and crispy, just how I like them...
...Mays, a professor of psychology at the University of California Los Angeles who recently visited New Orleans. As for post-traumatic stress, it's too early to make that diagnosis. "We're still in the middle of it. The shock period is over, but our lives have been ripped apart," Buras says from home after a bad day. "Now it's the unrelenting horribleness...
Because they were so hot, the first stars would have poured out not just visible light, but also copious amounts of high-energy ultraviolet radiation. One effect of that radiation would have been to knock apart hydrogen atoms, thus destroying their ability to block light. That process is known as reionization, and those stars, forming perhaps 100 million years into the Dark Ages, or roughly at the era's midpoint, might have rendered the universe transparent on their own if they had lived long enough. But unlike the sun, which has survived 5 billion years so far and should live...
...spot the earliest objects, however, astronomers will have to stop looking for ordinary light. The universe has expanded vastly since its earliest days--but it isn't that galaxies and other objects are flying apart. Rather, it's that space itself has been stretching--a difficult concept even for a physicist to grasp, but which must be true according to the equations of relativity.

As the balloon inflates, the dots will get farther apart--not because they're sliding around but because the balloon...

Hizballah's principal sponsor, Iran, has moved quickly to take advantage of the respect the organization is now receiving. According to Lebanese officials, the Tehran regime sent some $150 million in cash for Hizballah's initial postwar handouts, and is expected to give hundreds of millions more to finance reconstruction projects. The consolidation of Hizballah's support in southern Lebanon may make it more...
