...Fusion Breakthrough The hottest place in the solar system -- for a few moments -- was the interior of a huge doughnut-shaped contraption at the Princeton Plasma Physics Lab, which in a burst of heat and light generated more than 5 million watts of energy, a record for nuclear fusion and a milestone on the road to making power plants fueled by ingredients from ordinary water a 21st century reality...
It’s a familiar weekend scene: a mob of Harvard students looking for a party descend upon a few cramped common rooms scattered throughout the Houses. While these sparse closets-turned-dance-clubs burst with festive undergrads, the doors to some of the most vaunted social spaces within the Houses—infamous suites like Eliot House’s “Ground Zero” and Lowell House’s Bell Tower—remain closed.

The jack o’ lantern’s flame spontaneously burst forth from the wick as if lit by an invisible presence. With this simple gesture, Stollichnaya had combined the spirit of Halloween and Camp Sunshine. If there were a Guinness record for heart, he probably would have broken it. Deciding to burn the lantern at both ends, we returned...
