...Internet as it exists today is far from shockproof. It has been built by independent consortia of private telecom companies and investors, and network design has been driven by economics. Reliability is important, of course, but intercontinental cable systems can cost billions of dollars, so they tend to connect to countries where demand is greatest and they often lack costly parallel backup circuits that would be underused most of the time. Vulnerabilities exist, and the recent quake found a chink in the armor. It struck in the Luzon Strait south of Taiwan, an area that has an unusual concentration...
...principles at the forefront. The discussion has focused on the elements of a shared future—how to preserve the housing and the mission that brought Charlesview to life many years ago; how to ensure that Charlesview and the hope it gave to hundreds of families will exist many years hence; how to enable Charlesview to provide new homes for its existing residents while preserving the affordability upon which they depend; how to ensure access to public transit, proximity to amenities, and improved open space in a relocation; how to preserve a community that is a neighbor to Harvard...

If we accept barriers of race, gender, and class among Harvard students, where they are so easy to eradicate, then we cannot take them on in the real world. Harvard is the microcosm; Harvard is where we must start...
...sprawl of radioactive markers throughout London and beyond implied an amateur operation, not up to the FSB's usual standard. But another official disagreed. "This is such an extraordinary material to be using as a weapon," he said, "I'm not sure if any standard operating procedures would exist for handling it." Lugovoy's explanation for the traces that seem to track his progress around London was straightforward. "Someone is trying to set me up," he said to the Moskovsky Komsomolets newspaper. "But I can't understand...
