...center, which will complement Harvard's eight existing international studies centers, will cost about $30 million, Carnesale said. He urged conference attendees to donate their time and money to make the center a success...
...does this mean that a dinosaur assembly plant is on the way? Don't hold your breath. The sections of DNA that Woodward collected are much too short for any practical use. The full complement of genes needed to create an organism contains billions of nucleic acid pairs. Woodward found 174 pairs, too few to be certain what animal they came from.

The stage is fully and flatly lit; the sets create neither an interesting space on the stage, nor a visual complement to the play's mood. The sound design, however, is very effective; the sparingly used piano music is appropriate but unobtrusive, and the subtle manner in which effects like a ticking clock are eased into the audience's consciousness is innovative and interesting...
