...attempt to limit the freedom to choose a house has an insulting and paternalistic aspect. In effect, the College would be saying that, if left alone, students will surround themselves with carbon copies of their "type." It denies that students may have the character and maturity to find a good mix of difference and similarity in their social interactions...
...hard to imagine that when it opened in 1978, the Basic Oxygen Process Shop No. 2, known as "the BOP shop," was among the most formidable steelmaking facilities in the world. The two huge Voest-Alpine furnaces could produce up to 2.8 million tons of high- grade carbon steel annually. But soon after Kaiser built the plant (at a cost of $287 million), the company encountered new environmental regulations and rapidly rising union wages that made the mill noncompetitive with overseas producers. Within five years Kaiser shut the plant down. For a decade the BOP shop came to life only...

Since Caves transcribed faxes over a long period of time, she must have removed cartridges from...
SeaStar's job is simple: it is designed to track phytoplankton, tiny ocean- dwelling plants that serve as the basis for the entire marine food chain. Scientists theorize that the phytoplankton population is governed by the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The gas is also the most important cause of the global warming that many atmospheric scientists think will trigger major climate changes in the coming century. So a careful scrutiny of phytoplankton numbers may provide a sort of early-warning system that can alert the world to a potential catastrophe...
...When I first talked to [Stager] about the carbons, he talked to the general counsel's office and asked them if it was against the law," Caves said Wednesday. The general counsel's office classified the carbon as "abandoned material that was left in a public place" and said it was therefore public information, Caves said...
