Doubting the usefulness of “CriticalMass,” Dean of Undergraduate Education Benedict H. Gross ’71 told The Crimson, “Usually bulletin boards of this nature generate more heat than light.” But some of Greenspan’s ideas would prove valuable to Gross’ curricular review effort. The CUE ought to create an online message board of its own so that students can offer their feedback on broad issues of curricular change. Gross has already asked students to e-mail their thoughts, but an interactive site would...
...obsessed politicians. The usual line of argument is that human embryos outside of a woman deserve protection as “potential” human beings. An apt analogy would be selling a lump of graphite for the price of a diamond because it has the potential (under extreme heat and pressure) to become a diamond. But by stirring up concern about human cloning, the Raelian controversy could catalyze restrictions on other types of cloning, all of which fall under the general name of “somatic cell nuclear transfer...
...There was something feminine about Elvis. His mouth formed the pout of a sullen schoolgirl; his hair was swathed in more chemicals than a starlet's; his hips churned like a hooker's in heat. Presley was manly too, in a street-punk way. For him, the electric guitar was less an instrument than a symbolic weapon - an ax or a machine gun aimed at the complacent pop culture of the 50s. Performing his pansexual rite to a heavy bass line, Elvis set the primal image for rock: a man and his guitar, the tortured satyr and his magic lute...
...rivers, lakes and possibly oceans; NASA 's Mars Odyssey satellite, currently in orbit around the planet, has detected huge quantities of ice just a few feet below the surface. Beagle will search for evidence that these areas have supported extremophiles, micro-organisms living deep underground or in extremes of heat, pressure or toxicity, that represent a kind of rock-bottom definition of a living form. Many examples of these have been studied on Earth, including recent samples found 4 km beneath the surface, in a South African mine. One suggestion of Martian life emerged in 1996, when a meteorite from...
...Eliot Spitzer story begins on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, where both his parents grew up. His father Bernard was reared in a tenement with no heat, sharing a bathroom in the hall with the neighbors. Bernard, whose father had been an officer in the Austrian army, was intensely driven. He qualified for an elite school in the city and managed to graduate from City College at 18. A civil engineer by training, he went into real estate and made his fortune. He has constructed about a dozen properties in Manhattan, among them several high-end buildings...
