...Brick and masonry homes with metal framing do not burn. Wood is the culprit - the fuel for fire. Building-permit rules should disallow the use of wood in all new construction. Communities in fire-prone areas should also think about stocking forested and undeveloped lands with goats. These creatures could devour the underbrush that dries and fuels firestorms. Firefighters could better spend their time tending the goats than periodically risking their lives on uncontrolled fires. The goats could become part of the firefighters' arsenal, as important as trucks, hoses and protective gear. As Californians rebuild, incentives from insurance companies could...

During that time he spends several hours per day ramming his head into tacklers with up to 2,000 pounds of force (roughly the equivalent of you or me smashing our bare skulls against a brick wall repeatedly). In between possessions he retreats to the sideline for shots of Vicodin, Lidocaine, and encouragement to do it all over again. “Off-season” is a myth. “Injured reserve” is for cowards. The athletes contribute to the circus...
...Anthropology 1130, a hands-on archaeology class looking for the foundations of Harvard’s Indian College. So far, the 42 students enrolled in “Archaeology of Harvard Yard” have unearthed shellbuttons, wine bottles, pipestems, bits of Chinese porcelain, and (surprise!) plenty of brick. The most exciting discovery to date are small pieces of printing tile that may have been used to produce the first Bible printed in North America. “It’s so easy when you’re walking through the yard to ignore Harvard’s history...
