...difficult situation is made even more unpleasant because, according to custom, Ogwama should automatically become the wife of her brother-in-law. Ogwama refuses this unfair fate (evidently, she is a firm believer of the love match) and shortly thereafter inspires the scary wrath of Odibei (Crescent Muhammad '97), her mother-in-law. Odibei is especially interested in shuttling Ogwama to her eagerly awaiting son, since the marriage to her other son did not produce offspring. Unless you're an insensitive ogre, after about the first half-hour your sympathies lie with Ogwama and Uloko; you root for their love...

Every two seconds, BETA captures enough data to fill a CD-ROM, which adds up to roughly 22 million megabytes of data per day--an overwhelming volume far beyond human capacity to comprehend and evaluate. For that reason, the incoming radio waves are digitized and read into a custom-made, homegrown supercomputer, designed and assembled by Horowitz and his students, that sorts through the input and discards cosmic radio "noise...
...than a Colorado Springs dentist named Hal Huggins. A prolific writer of antiamalgam articles, pamphlets and books, Huggins, 58, is the maestro of mercury removal. About 2,000 Americans, many desperately ill, have visited the Huggins Diagnostic Center, where a team of five dentists pulled out fillings in two custom-made "bubble operatories" designed to minimize exposure to toxins. At its peak, in the early 1990s, the center treated 32 patients a month, subjecting them to intensive two-week therapies and charging as much as $8,500 a mouth...
