...They were not well organized and he frequently made small, not major, conceptual errors that slowed down lectures and tended to frustrate people and block the flow of information he was trying to convey,” Faltesek said...
...existent—opposition in Washington to the Bush Administration, Frank Rich ’71 thundered in his New York Times column last Saturday morning: “Do the Democrats stand for anything other than the next election?” His question was clearly intended to convey scorn for the shallow pragmatism that underpins so many of the party’s current tactics. Yet, had Rich posed the question to the budding politicos at his alma mater, the leadership of the Harvard College Democrats (HCD) would have gladly answered him—with a resounding negative...

...Florida, Democratic donors wrote her off, convinced she would never capture enough of the conservative north. Her feckless campaign, whose only highlight was an oft-satirized Miami Beach dance party, prompted even the state's liberal teachers' union, the Florida Education Association, to endorse McBride.

McBride's profile also got an unintended lift from Bush: preferring to face Reno in November, the Governor's campaign ran attack ads against McBride that backfired when they catapulted his name recognition...
...expects to produce a commercial prototype for a chip with "nonvolatile random-access memory" (NRAM), which means its chips won't forget how to run all its programs when the power is switched off. The technology uses arrays of 2-nm strands of carbon atoms, called carbon nanotubes, that convey electrons faster than copper and are 100 times as strong as steel at a fraction of the weight. Pairs of tubes store data by locking together when a current runs through them and stay together even when the computer power is switched off and back on. The tubes remain linked...
