...Harvard community, despite their nominal visiting-student status. Forcing them to leave after their first semester of freshman year—effectively kicking them off campus—will irreparably damage their college experiences and disrupt the community here. And letting visiting students stay will not cause a housing crunch when other students return from time abroad; visiting students have been living in rooms that were originally deemed too loud and too dangerous...
SMALL PURSES ARE OFTEN the chicest choice to complement holiday finery, but most barely have room for a wallet, let alone the supplies to keep you party-pretty all night long. Now cosmetics companies are solving the space crunch with single servings of makeup: disposable beauty supplies small enough to slip into the sleekest bag--or a Christmas stocking...
...Refinery Crunch Matthew Yeomans' essay "Refining the Problem" [Sept. 26] argued that building more refineries may alleviate the oil shortage. But we also need to tackle problems on the demand side.

Citizens must play a part in energy conservation in their daily lives...
...probably never thought your average house paint could help solve the world energy crunch. But Michael Flickinger, 54, founding director of the University of Minnesota's Biotechnology Institute, has found a way to make hydrogen--and then electricity--from genetically engineered bacteria embedded in the adhesive latex polymer particles that form the basis of most paints. Thinly coated onto plastic or metals, the polymers, which are infused with bacteria, are permeable to gases and nutrients. The coatings--about two-thirds the thickness of a sheet of paper--jump to life when exposed to light and begin making hydrogen gas, which...
Forget Cherry Garcia, Chunky Monkey and Rainforest Crunch. The next hot new flavor at Ben & Jerry's Homemade could be called Lock-'n'-Load Rocky Road. The quirky maker of superpremium ice cream began the new year by scooping up gun-industry executive Perry Odak to fill a two-month vacancy as its new CEO. Odak most recently was chief operating officer of U.S. Repeating Arms Co., the maker of Winchester rifles, and he brings 25 years of consumer-marketing savvy to Ben & Jerry's (est. 1996 sales: $175 million), which could sorely use some executive firepower...
