...consortium of government organizations including NASA, NORAD and even the FCC keeps track of all the planet's high-flying rubbish, and so far, its running count is flat-out scary. There are currently at least 17,000 objects measuring 4 in. or greater circling the Earth - and in some ways, that's the good news. The government estimates that there are 200,000 objects in the 1-in.-to-3-in. range and tens of millions smaller than an inch...
...like books,” she said.It wasn’t that I couldn’t find examples of interdisciplinary dating at Harvard. But it was rare. Okay, the economists got around—but the social sciences were inherently promiscuous. They didn’t count. Love across real disciplinary boundaries, bringing together scientists and humanists: that was hard to find. And the phenomenon, I discovered, wasn’t limited to undergraduates. Harvard’s 12 residential houses are led by 12 academic couples, and there’s little interdisciplinary mixing among them. Kirkland House...
...Johnson may have the most difficult job in a play otherwise filled with absurd, broadly-played comedic characters, but he handles the portrayal with ease and a unique brand of wit and ingenuity.Among the ridiculous and idiotic, Steven Dyer might have the flashier role with his over-the-top Count Gregor Yousekevitch, but it is the Zubritsky parents, Lenya (Dorothy Ahle) and the Doctor (Peter Cosmas Sofronas), who nearly steal the show.

The radio stations are chosen by the dining hall staff, and while you can count on hearing Top 40, classic rock, or oldies in most houses, not all d-hall music is created equal. Afternoons at Quincy are dominated by oldies, the bosses’ favorite, with classic rock coming on after 4:00 p.m. But when Mike L. Charles is working, expect to hear some...
...their label Slumberland Records prefers, POBPAH. One verb short of a clause, it is arguably the most misguided decision in band-naming since the exclamation point in Panic! At the Disco. Thankfully, Kip, Kurt, Alex, and Peggy—who, in a seeming reversal on their word count policy, prefer to forego their surnames—are much better at making music than they were at christening themselves.On their self-titled debut album, they prove themselves to be unapologetically dedicated to crafting tight and wistful three-minute pop songs. Boy-girl, matchy-matchy harmonies are blissfully paired with jangling rhythms...
