KOHL is no Bismarck, and his movement will never gather the same force or militancy as that of his 19th century counterpart. Keep a close eye on central Europe, though, and you're bound to see continued politicking and constituency-building towards one Germany. If it comes, the 20th-century reunification will be built not with blood and iron, but with consensus and politics...
...Harvard athletic facilities are for use by students, staff, faculty and their families. For years, parents have brought their families. For years, parents have brought their babies, securely strapped into strollers, to wait by the pool while mom, dad and older siblings went swimming. In past years, a watchful eye was kept on the baby parked at the end of the lane.

His characters may be exotics, but their situations are achingly familiar...

But magnified 160 times in an electron microscope, the speck begins to take on shape and function: a tiny gear with teeth the size of blood cells. "You have to be careful when handling these things," warns Kaigham Gabriel, an engineer at AT&T Bell Laboratories . "I've accidentally inhaled a few right into my lungs...
