Good to hear them again-the marine drill sergeants' obscene arias of disgust and contempt (see also Full Metal Jacket and Heartbreak Ridge) as they begin the process of stripping young American males of their individuality, any tendency they might have to think for themselves or harbor the odd, rebellious thought. These early passages in every modern combat movie are designed to induce a state of shock and awe in its viewers, soften us up for the horrors to come. We laugh, we cringe, we begin looking forward to the transformation of these innocents into lean, mean killing machines...
...Known as “the dean of American composers,” Aaron Copland is famous for his orchestra and film compositions. Throughout his life, Copland created innovative pieces that were different from traditional European music. “A Lincoln Portrait”, written after Pearl Harbor was attacked, resonates with patriotism. The piece includes quotes from Abraham Lincoln’s writings that will be narrated by Dean of Harvard College Benedict H. Gross ’71 as Copland’s music plays in the background. Wei-Jen Yuan ’06, the winner...

...oscillating water column successfully generated power during trials outside Port Kembla harbor in June. (A rival system called Pelamis, using 120-m-long hinged cylinders, was successfully tested in Scotland in April.) Once commissioned, Energetech's plant is expected to feed into the local grid enough clean power for 500 homes. Energetech is developing several commercial-scale projects from Israel to Rhode Island. Wave energy, Denniss says, is "more consistent, predictable and concentrated than wind. It's also inexhaustible." Having studied the ocean's power all his life, he's in no doubt that it will soon be turning...
