Jacob Turner, 3, improves his tolerance for food textures by playing with gooey concoctions and allowing a therapist to put them ever nearer his mouth...
...arguably to the first computer mouse, introduced in 1968. The idea was that we would all pretend that abstract digital information is physically real, that we could see it and manipulate it according to physical laws.

Georgi, from all appearances, is the model professor: he is master of Leverett, hosts regular socials with his famous gooey cinnamon “monkeybread,” and stays in Leverett dining hall until 1 or 2 a.m. the night before problem sets are due to answer questions. He boosts attendance at these “physics nights” by making the problem sets impossible to complete alone. Georgi...
