...explain how two types of particle, massless like everything else immediately after the Big Bang, came to acquire different masses as the universe cooled. Using this mechanism, which two Belgian physicists simultaneously posited, scientists were able to extrapolate how all particles get their mass. Higgs thus plugged a major hole in the Standard Model, the far-reaching set of equations on the interaction of subatomic particles that is the closest modern physics comes to a testable "theory of everything...
...then shows how they get caught. Except for the gimmick of the silent half-hour, and broad comic turns from a few supporting players, the film plays the material straight. Epiphanies emerge naturally, like the moments when the gang, in the apartment above the shop, chisels a hole in the floor, and we get our first, eerily surreal view of the jewelry premises, as an umbrella is lowered through a ceiling hole and slowly opens (to catch the debris). Formidable...
...hole with an 0-4 record in Ivy League play in what is only a 20-game conference schedule, what the Crimson does in the next two days could very well decide whether Harvard has a chance to make a run at the Rolfe Division Championship and an appearance in the Ivy League Championship Series, or if the Crimson will be resigned to playing spoiler for the remainder of the quickly unfolding season...
...only place the town's booming soundtrack can't be heard is the site of the soon-to-be towers. There, near a concrete hole reminiscent of an open-pit mine, clusters of laborers pour cement and lash lengths of bamboo. Director of Construction Qiu Juping says it will take 1,500 workers five years to finish. These workers, imported from across the country, join 25,000 other migrant laborers to keep Huaxi afloat. They know building the tower will be tough, and potentially dangerous, but say they're proud to be part of something big. "I feel honored...
...otherwise conservative crowd of more than a thousand supporters burst into approving applause and laughter at the mention of their storied downtown watering hole, which had dancing girls back when McCain served in the area as a young pilot. McCain's own knowing smile only added to the moment. Indeed, all week, the Republican nominee-in-waiting has been alluding to the wild days of his younger years, and crowds have been eating...
