...they come to this decision? Somewhere deep in the bowels of the Harvard Archives are 31 boxes. They are labeled with the number UAI 15.1795.7, and contain around 10 cubic feet of files from the search for Harvard's 26th president. As is typical with many of Harvard's "secret" files, they are under seal for 80 years—not be read or opened until the year 2071.

Forty Harvard students cleared 20 cubic yards of trash from the Alewife Reservation-100 acres of swamp, forest and fields housing hundreds of species of animals. They exhumed tires and shopping carts, a 300-pound safe, a steel gallon drum and even a kitchen sink...
Stage designer/astrophysicist Josh Goldston '01 has designed and constructed a giant Greek pillar that occupies over 300 cubic feet of stage space. What's more impressive, the entire piece is tilted upon its axis at a five degree angle to the floor. As the geometrically inclined amongst you will recognize, creating a nonperpendicular cylinder necessitates cutting a sine wave into plywood. There are easier things to do with a table...
...computing technology has reached its limit, a new approach has stepped in to continue exponential growth (see "What Will Replace Silicon?" in this issue). Nanotubes, for example, which are already functioning in laboratories, could be fashioned into three-dimensional circuits made of hexagonal arrays of carbon atoms. One cubic inch of nanotube circuitry would be 1 million times more powerful than the human brain, at least in raw processing power...
...worst cardio-fitness program in this century was that of Egypt's King Farouk. The King weighed around 300 lbs.; he looked like an immense, saturnine party balloon. Staples of the royal diet: a few tablespoons of caviar, lobster thermidor, slabs of roast lamb, a cubic meter or so of trifle, a pound of chocolate, a magnum of champagne. Workout: two or three dancers from the chorus...
