...between the pipes, the only question mark is health. Junior goaltender Crystal Springer had a solid year with a 1.61 GAA, but only when she was not nursing a collarbone that she broke twice this year. Fortunately for the Crimson. rookie Alison Kuusisto went 10-0 in games for which Springer was unavailable, including the national championship. With its top two netminders back, Harvard will be an experienced team ready for big games against nationally ranked opponents next year...
...have unbelievable team chemistry and it really pulled us through close games like this one," said freshman Alison Kuusisto, who stepped in after junior Crystal Springer broke her collarbone the night before and repeated the performance of netminder Chuckie Hughes '92 by guiding the Crimson to a title as a rookie. "I was really lucky to be on a team like this, and this season has been a once-in-a-lifetime experience...
...best-selling author, prizewinning filmmaker, passionate environmentalist and canny businessman. Instantly recognizable by his pipe, red cap and gaunt silhouette, Jacques-Yves Cousteau--a.k.a. "Captain Planet"--was arguably the century's best known, most popular Frenchman. For generations of scuba divers--and millions of armchair explorers--he created a crystal-clear window for the unseen world beneath the waves...
...transistor was born just before Christmas 1947 when John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, two scientists working for William Shockley at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., observed that when electrical signals were applied to contacts on a crystal of germanium, the output power was larger than the input. Shockley was not present at that first observation. And though he fathered the discovery in the same way Einstein fathered the atom bomb, by advancing the idea and pointing the way, he felt left out of the momentous occasion...
...what was then known of the quantum physics of semiconductors. In a remarkable series of insights made over a few short weeks, he greatly extended the understanding of semiconductor materials and developed the underlying theory of another, much more robust amplifying device--a kind of sandwich made of a crystal with varying impurities added, which came to be known as the junction transistor. By 1951 Shockley's co-workers made his semiconductor sandwich and demonstrated that it behaved much as his theory had predicted...
