...exploration of how to make theoretical physics manifest on stage. Inspired by the late Samuel Beckett, the play lacks a traditional form. Instead, it is divided into the intertwining stories of different couples who act almost as analogous pairs. The principle couple is Richard Feynman, the Caltech physicist who helped develop the atomic bomb, and his wife, who in this play is called Eurydice. Both are dying and reflecting on their youth. Another story involves a Biblical Adam and Eve, echoed by a modern Adam, a painter, and Eve, his lover and one of Feynman’s students...

While the team has plenty of enthusiasm, they’re just getting to know each other—they met as a team for the first time Wednesday...
...Even more schools have taken steps to reduce debt among their neediest students. Among them: Caltech, which this year began replacing loans with grants for American students with household incomes below $60,000, and College of the Holy Cross, which offers free tuition to students from its surrounding community in Worcester, Mass., if their family makes less than $50,000.
