Harvard’s Office of Technology Development recently licensed a new technology for analyzing large quantities of unstructured text to Crimson Hexagon, Inc., a start-up co-founded by Government Professor Gary King last year. King, who developed the technology with a team of researchers at the Institute for Quantitative Social Science, said in an e-mail that the algorithm can can sort through thousands of blogs, books, articles and other sources of information in real time and extract a common opinion.

We went on to Hermanville, which was on the main road to Caen. When we arrived it was 5 p.m. We had been up since 3 a.m. We dug a trench at the corner of a field and slept...
...Frederic and Raoul, who has taken an immediate fancy to the girl, need to embroil themselves in the political and romantic mess with Raoul’s hopelessly star-struck friends (Viviane’s an actress, remember?), strategically introduced for more comic relief. Call it a veritable love hexagon, in which people are always in love with people in love with other people...
