...that year that I routinely got bloody noses at inopportune times and started to sport a white eye-patch, which clipped on to my glasses. I was legally blind in one eye—that was my only excuse for why I also wore leggings with giant, purple, velour sweatshirts. I looked like an extremely undersized, genetically-deformed version of Deborah Gibson. I can almost never forgive myself. That’s why, approximately two weeks ago, when everyone and their mother started to wear leggings, I started to get panic attacks. I couldn’t believe that people...
...Congressman Jerry Weller of Illinois, the NRC decided to launch a wide probe of all nuclear power operations in Illinois, which has the highest number of plants (6) and reactors (11) of any state in the U.S. As it happens, they are all owned by Exelon, a Chicago-based giant with some 5 million customers and $15 billion in annual revenues...
...trains, trucks and cargo containers; as well as the cyberbackbone that underpins the information age in which we live. The security measures we have been cobbling together are hardly fit to deter amateur thieves, vandals and hackers, never mind determined terrorists.

His two runs clocked in a 1:00.14 and 1:12.88, and he took 43rd place in the giant slalom with a combined time of 1:45.63. Junior Daniel Tsai’s giant slalom time of 1:44.82 checked in four spots ahead of Segal at 39th. Next weekend, the teams will travel to Middlebury, Vt., for the final tune-up prior to the NCAA Championships in Steamboat...
...students Organs aren’t just for hymns and Halloween. This Tuesday, organ legend John Scott will come to Harvard, drawn by the opportunity to play on the exceptional 1958 Flentrop organ. For those used to the muddy and sometimes overpowering groans of Memorial Church’s giant organ, the bright, clean sound of the Flentrop will be a welcome relief, especially when combined with Scott’s brilliant technique. Organ recitals have become increasingly rare since the instrument’s modern glory days ending just after the mid-twentieth-century. The recent exodus of British...
