...someone who likes to invent what the future of science and technology looks like," Allen says. Grandiose maybe, except that he and a Seattle school pal did that once before. The ATA could grow to 350 dishes, but it may not have to. If it gets us asking questions that go beyond the usual noise of the news, it has done its job even before its switch is thrown...

The JV women’s soccer team, for example, almost always has more players than it can reasonably give playing time to—except in cases when players are pulled out of JV games to fill out Varsity practices. The JV women’s volleyball team and JV men’s soccer team have similarly full rosters. The fact that the Department sprung its offensive on all JV teams, not just...
