...three men made machines into creepy, modern sex totems, creating metaphors for the sex act out of pistons, wheels and shafts. They plundered popular-?science books for imagery. They were exhibitionists in the pathological sense, having themselves photographed in nutty get-ups: Duchamp with his hair shampoo-lathered into devil-horn shapes or shaved in the form of a star, or dressed up as a woman; Picabia with his bare chest puffed out, posing as a classical god; and Ray in a photographic self-portrait with half a beard...
...glow sticks (the hosts distributed about 500 of them) in desperate effort to keep the beat: Harvard students are not particularly graceful with their bodies. But Friday night’s attendees are to be commended for their willingness to disregard the gin-soaked naysayers and let down their hair. At the very least, the Underground Rave is proof positive that proper dancing rivals any drunk. Steven A. Franklin ’10 counts himself among the converted.

His innovation has been hailed as an elegantly simple and cheap solution to a devastating problem. One artificial glacier costs just $7,000, compared to $34,000 for a cement water reservoir. Only local materials are needed, and the villagers themselves can build and maintain them. The seven glaciers he's built as head of a local non-profit managing the watershed program for the state of Jammu and Kashmir have won him widespread attention, as engineers from other...
