...there's change afoot, signaled this week by the Harvard Graduate School of Design, which presented its annual Excellence in Design award to, of all things, a car designer: J Mays, the 47-year-old Oklahoman who has been in charge of car design at Ford since 1997. Mays is a guy whose world is actively about more than cars.

Did Heisenberg, postulator of the uncertainty principle, attempt to extract information from Bohr? Or did he use the meeting to confess his anguish over helping Hitler...
...Once there, it wasn't the pas de deux but the flashy athleticism that turned him on. Huang was a diligent, award-winning student but, upon finishing his schooling, he stopped following the rules. On a trip to Hong Kong he had an epiphany. "I noticed that Taiwanese dancers had very strong, traditional Chinese roots," he says. "Hong Kong, even though it is Chinese, has a lot of Western influence. Then I looked at my own group?we were jumping and spinning but had no direction. I wanted to change that...
