...that occupation could seem a gentleman's calling, Forsythe is surrounded by a trio of Vermont eccentrics, all of whom believe they may have killed Harry. Forsythe, naturally, is the cave of common sense they retreat to for sage advice ("You're not supposed to bury bodies whenever you find them - it makes people suspicious") and comfort (he woos and wins the young Shirley MacLaine, in her film debut). Hitchcock called on Forsythe twice in the '60s, as a man accused of murder in the 1962 TV drama I Saw the Whole Thing, and seven years later, as a government...
...find the Higgs boson is to create an environment that mimics the moment post-Big Bang. The powerful LHC runs at up to 7 trillion electron volts (TeV) and sends particles through temperatures colder than deep space at velocities approaching the speed of light. (The second most powerful particle accelerator, at Fermilab in Illinois, runs at 1 TeV.) The added juice allows scientists to get closer to the high energy that existed after the Big Bang. And high energies are needed, because the Higgs is thought to be quite heavy. (In Einstein's famous equation E=MC2, C represents...
Given the problems with the Standard Model, some physicists have come up with elaborate alternatives to explain the workings of the cosmos, including the existence of multiple, alternate dimensions, or hidden "supersymmetric partners" to all the universe's particles. To them, failure to find the Higgs - or finding the Higgs among an ensemble of strange and new particles - would be welcome, since it would suggest that more ambitious theories are needed.

...past few weeks, these machines—which provide cold water, room-temp water, and seltzer—have stopped functioning to continuously dispense your H2O. Previously, you could leave a glass under the running machine, fulfill another task, and then return to find your glass filled with no manual effort involved...
...place, one area where the U.S. has been successful in imposing its unilateral sanctions is in the financial sector, where it uses the leverage of threatened exclusion from the American financial system to press Dubai's financial services industry into observing U.S. curbs. Iranians in Dubai say they find it increasingly difficult to get credit, even for workaday business dealings. "We have to pay full amounts to the supplier in order to ship the goods to us," says Morteza Masoumzadeh, deputy executive director of the Iranian Business Council in Dubai, whose shipping company focuses on trade with Iran...
