...Avicenna's Canon of Medicine delineates the basic skeletal system. The curators have put together an imaginative collection of some 200 artifacts, lent by 33 mainly Western museums, including books, maps, quadrants, globes, musical instruments, tiles, paintings and weapons. But many of the Age's great achievements no longer exist, and can only be appreciated through images. Though the Arabs lived in a desert world, they contributed to the science of hydraulics, as recorded in miniatures, a video and a reproduction of a water-pumping system. The clever automatons they built to amuse the aristocracy are seen only in paintings...
...Viewpoint "Oil Is Here To Stay," Peter Huber argues that sufficient supplies of oil exist to quench our thirst indefinitely and that we merely need the political will to extract them. His assessment implies that we should continue our addiction to using fossil fuels without fear of consequence. In fact, we are probably paying for that addiction right now in the form of global climate change. Evidence abounds that the earth is warming--melting ice caps, rising sea levels and perhaps even more intense hurricanes devastating our coasts.

Paiji ’06, co-president of the Harvard-Radcliffe Asian American Association...
Hegarty gave his assurance that nothing had happened, but that the potential for an embarrassing (read: naked) situation did exist. “I was just down at the construction site and it is very easy to look into people’s rooms. It could be possible for some of the guys [construction workers] to see stuff they’re not supposed to see. I don’t think the kids are as aware sometimes as they should be.” He added, “We just want to look out for everyone involved?...
