...also ascribed the rise in enrollment to a revamped tutorial program. "We've completely redesigned our tutorials so that faculty are involved in teaching and design of tutorials at every stage," Hankins said in an e-mail message...
...Rosen engine design, announced last week, draws its power from two very different sources. The first is a high-powered turbine--a mini-jet engine if you will--that will keep your car purring along on the freeway with just a spit of gas every now and then. For quick acceleration and hill climbing, the turbine is linked to a flywheel, an energy-producing and energy-storing contraption that is at least as old as the first potter's wheel--a stone that had to be heavy enough to continue turning between kicks from someone's foot. Flywheels were...
Most of the auto companies and academics who have heard of this design think the Rosens are spinning their wheels. Of course, the auto companies thought the Japanese didn't have a clue either, but they've also invested billions of dollars in flywheel technology without coming up with much. Says Harold: "Detroit never took hybrids seriously. They weren't thinking broadly enough." Chrysler tried, and failed, to field a race car with a turbo-flywheel power train (the engine and transmission) a couple of years...
...work with alternative-fuel vehicles, doesn't think the Rosens have addressed the safety problems inherent in flywheels. A wheel operating at such a high velocity can explode if knocked off-line--say by hitting a pothole--turning high-tech carbon fibers into shrapnel. "In the final analysis, the design needs a lot of work on housing and containment. I don't think he has the ultimate power train. No disrespect intended. This is simply an observation that these guys with very limited funds are trying to do what Detroit did over decades." Chrysler's flywheel failure mirrors these concerns...
...mother?' See, they'd be starting to smell my perfume. It was either White Shoulders or Shalimar." At such moments The Living and the Dead can be as cleansing as a good cry in front of the Vietnam War Memorial. But too often Hendrickson inserts himself awkwardly into his design. The result is a form of not-so-new New Journalism full of breathless speculating in a kind of past-presumptive tense ("He must have been absorbing bundles of sensations, not all of them ordered or rational...
