...With the prospect of a Japanese coronary turning widespread gloom into naked fear, Wall Street tumbled Monday and Wednesday with the barest of bounces in between, and revisited some milestones of its own. The Dow, shedding more than 800 points, dipped below 10,000 for the first time since fall. The NASDAQ slumped under 2000 and officially erased two years of tech run-up. The S&P finally notched its 20 percent and joined the bear club...
...Taming of the Shrew as it is an homage to it. Director Julia Jarcho '03 uses The Taming of the Shrew as a point of departure in a fast-paced exploration of the collective drives and desires in our sex-charged modern culture. Stripping the text to the barest of its essentials (four performers and a running time of under an hour), Jarcho built upon the loose structural foundation by incorporating erotic readings from and about Pauline Reage's 1965 The Story of O to highlight themes of submission and domination within the play's power structure...

But I've done it, and it's not hard. You need only the barest sample to smear on the card. Yes, it's disgusting, but think of the reward.

Just getting Pathfinder from Cape Canaveral to Ares Vallis required a remarkable bit of cosmic sharpshooting. Mars is only 4,200 miles across--about half as big as Earth--and the floodplain NASA was aiming for is only 60 miles wide. The barest flutter in the spacecraft's trajectory could have caused Pathfinder to swing far wide of its destination. To prevent the ship from straying too far from its ideal path, the flight plan included five different opportunities for midcourse corrections during which the spacecraft's thrusters could be fired to refine the trajectory. Over the course...
