...second flank of Peninsula's invective attacks three of the most respected professors on campus: Robert Coles '50, Alan M. Dershowitz and Stephen J. Gould. That these are vocal, public intellectuals is surely at the heart of Peninsula's insecurity. But I think that is there is a deeper question of (hypocritical) religious "sincerity" which Peninsula raises. Coles, who through his lectures makes evident the profound impact the words of Jesus Christ have had on his life, is the model Christian--humble, God-fearing and wholly concerned for his fellow man--yet Peninsula castigates his compassionate oratory as "dron...
Harvard's first goal was the product of the type of team play coaches dream about. Senior midfielder Kevin Silva flew down the right flank, leaving more than one B.C. defender in his wake, before sending a nice cross to open teammate junior Tom McLaughlin...

...vacuum cleaner's nozzle. To the eye, this is exactly what appears to be happening. But while scientists agree that the updraft is essential, many doubt that it provides the sole mechanism for tornado formation. Some scientists think the rapid sinking of colder, dryer air near the rear flank of the storm may be key. If this rush of air encounters wind shear on its way down, then it too will start to rotate. In this scenario, a tornado occurs as air from the downdraft nears the ground, swoops out horizontally and--attracted by the zone of low pressure created...
