...expected, coming to Harvard has expanded my horizons, or at least stretched them further along the Northeast corridor. I’ve learned to navigate an entirely new and un-grid-like city, adjusted to life without round-the-clock pizza delivery, and come to appreciate the charm of Boston’s brick-laden, cobbled-street neighborhoods. Despite the grudging fondness I’ve developed for Beantown, when senior job panic rolled around, I spent my fall submitting applications, racking up frequent flier miles, and assuming this July would see me safely back in the City, where...

Meanwhile, a growing economy is gobbling up power - 2.5% more of it each year - and making the national grid feel its age. Power lines into Auckland, where almost one-third of New Zealanders now live, can barely handle peak loads. At a national electricity summit two weeks ago, industry leaders warned that if action isn't taken soon, supplies could run short or the grid give way within five years...
BRINGING POWER Electricity could be made available to the villages either via a power line or an off-grid diesel generator. The electricity would power lights and perhaps a computer for the school; pumps for safe well water; power for milling grain, refrigeration and other needs. The villagers emphasized that the students would like to study after sunset but cannot do so without electric lighting...
