...confusion, unlike the Bose and the Klipsch, the Hi-Fi can run on six D-cell batteries. In what locations without a power plug would a 14.5-lb. sound system come in handy? Up in a tree fort, perhaps? Surely even Bart Simpson would rig up an extension cord...
...press conference announcing the USC Broad Institute last week. The Institute, which will be the largest stem cell research center in California, plans to revolutionize medical care by looking for cure for diseases like Parkinson’s, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and spinal cord injuries, Eli Broad said at the press conference.
