...apocalyptic scenarios when it’s so nice outside. Climate change may have some unfortunate long-term consequences, but then again, as John Maynard Keynes said, “in the long run we are all dead.” Poised at a precipice, we cannot help but enjoy the view...
Perhaps Harvard should embrace global warming. Weather could become one of Cambridge’s major selling points. While Duke languishes amidst newly intensified tropical storms, Harvard will enjoy 70-degree weather in January. Who would ever want to go anywhere else? Polar ice caps may melt, but it was, after all, a Harvard graduate who reminded us that “a rising tide lifts all boats...
...Harvard, as at any demanding college, is stressful. More time to spend with family, in bed, or just existing outside Harvard’s Ivy gates, would do wonders for the collective sanity of the College.

The pilot worked so well that Corpus Christi dreamed big, using tax dollars to fund a $7.1 million, 147-sq.-mi. network that went live last month. Now park sunbathers can Web surf and this town of 300,000 is home...
