...first student-written play to appear on the Mainstage in 15 years. While Videt’s subject might be theoretical physics, what she’s really interested in are moments where the science is inadequate to explain its own implications; equations may have built the bomb, but they can’t handle the fallout...
...hundred days is a long time, and although the presidential progress report serves as a general gauge for the direction of the country, most administrations don't achieve (or suffer) their greatest milestones until later. The 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Lewinsky scandal, Truman's decision to drop the atomic bomb - they all fell outside the 100-day mark.

On Thursday three bombs in central Baghdad and areas northeast of the capital killed at least 80 people and wounded more than 100. On Friday, a double suicide bombing at the most important Shi'ite shrine in Baghdad killed another 60 and injured 125 more. The bombs went off as people gathered for Friday prayers at the mosque and tomb...
