...hand it to them. Harvard deans have found a way to keep academic excellence high while keeping at bay those irritating little impediments to progress...
...appreciation of real-life scientific research procedures and enjoy the companionship of those with similar interests, one side benefit is that the program occasionally inspires funny-sounding e-mail messages from a place apparently named "Johore," a region in Malaysia. At least this is what first-year Altay Guvench found out after he attended RSI two summers ago. Shortly before presenting a final report on his activities at MIT's Lincoln Laboratories, a military research lab, Guvench was informed that his project on submarine communication was not exempt from the lab's six-to-eight week clearance procedure. But somehow...
...Vicky found that she no longer needed to work so hard, she would spend more time with her daughter. "Katerina, that comes first, everything else second.

Skating over the North Pole just got a little more dangerous. Scientists have found that the sheet of ice covering earth's northernmost area has become forty percent thinner over the past four decades -- possibly the result of global warming. But don't head for the mountains just yet. Since the melting came from ice already in the ocean, global water levels will remain roughly the same. While the melting has been linked to changing wind patterns around the Arctic, researchers aren't sure whether this is a direct result of global warming. Still, the news does reflect several possibly...
