...inspired by Termini’s encounters with homeless people in our own Harvard Square. A series of computer-generated drawings accompany lyrics to Termini’s song of the same title, written from the point of view of a fictional homeless woman.

That still gives us $95 million to play with, folks...

Unlike the first wave of defenders, which are crude killing machines, these cells are preprogrammed with biochemical weapons that can target specific types of invaders, including common viruses like influenza and rhinovirus (which causes the common cold...
