...reviewed academic journal that is the cornerstone of many disciplines. This seems unlikely at best. Editors and referees put in hours not for higher pay but because of the prestige of the job and their sense of duty to advancing their profession. The open access movement thus does little harm to the peer review apparatus while expanding the distribution of academic papers. The publishers of print journals may be harmed, but open access makes academia thrive. In this vein, we applaud the Harvard Faculty Council’s move to make manuscripts of articles written by Harvard professors in traditional...

It could, for example, zip into harm's way at more than 200 m.p.h. (320 km/h), convert to helicopter mode and then land within seconds. It could pause on the ground to deliver or pick up Marines and then hustle from the landing zone. Various missile-warning systems and fire-extinguishing gear bolster its survivability. If it is hit, redundant hydraulic and flight-control systems will help keep it airborne. Finally, Marines...
