...Earth-like planets is a major goal of exoplanet research. “We’re trying to find lower and lower mass planets that are more and more similar to the earth,” Kenyon said. Harvard’s new Origins of Life Initiative will bring together research in exoplanets and other areas of physical science with research in the life sciences, according to Sasselov. Students interested in this topic have the option of learning more from courses such as Science A-54: Life as a Planetary Phenomenon and the recently approved course Astronomy 110: Exoplanets...

...Africa's most successful democracies. An uneducated freedom fighter who hoisted himself out of poverty and served a prison sentence alongside Nelson Mandela under South Africa's Apartheid regime, Zuma is heralded as a canny politician whose rough-hewn populism - his unofficial song is the Zulu anthem "Bring Me My Machine Gun", which he's been known to sing at jam-packed rallies - has proven an irresistible lure for many. But his career has been plagued by accusations of corruption and rape, and a succession of gaffes that betrayed streaks of homophobia and casual misogyny (which didn't prevent...
