...Harvard for more than a decade, spends evenings going from the Agassiz to the Loeb to house performance spaces, helping techies "put-in" upwards of four shows a night. With a student theater community of more than 500, Symonds is almost the only professional resource available--particularly to the bulk of the shows that are performed outside the Loeb...
...must have slowed down even more, and may even have reverted to a solitary life-style. Says Brett-Surman: "They certainly wouldn't have turned somersaults across the landscape." As for the giant herbivores, which would have required hundreds of pounds of vegetation a day to sustain their enormous bulk, they might have had their own unique metabolism fueled by the heat given off by nonstop digestion...
...increase the capacity of their long-distance telephone lines. At about the same time, the Federal Government, spurred by Gore, leased some of these lines to give scientists a high-speed data link to supercomputers funded by the National Science Foundation. These two networks, private and public, carry the bulk of the country's telephone and data traffic. In the superhighway system of the future, they are the interstate turnpikes...
...island off the coast of Siberia. The researchers uncovered 29 fossilized teeth that range from 4,000 to 7,000 years of age. In a survival technique that has since been copied by human institutional giants, the prehistoric pachyderms adapted to their confined island circumstances by downsizing their bulk. Extrapolating from the small tooth size, scientists calculate that the mini- mammoths stood 6 ft. tall at the shoulder, compared with 10 ft. for their full-size counterparts. Still unclear: whether climatic changes or human hunters triggered their final, belated fall...
...Eisenhower the student council has been enlisted as a cash cow, generating $1,500 a month in profit from its "market day," which allows fee- paying customers to buy food in bulk through the school. Through an agreement with the local parks authority, new public tennis courts are located on Eisenhower's grounds, where students can easily use them. Public money will pay for their upkeep. Parks officials are also considering a request from Pedersen to donate $5,000 for the school to buy eight computers. In return, Eisenhower would offer computer classes to the general public for a small...
