Freshmen break-dancers Richard Huang '13 and Konlin Shen '13 started it out with some playful face-offs, but when Felix de Rosen '13 and Ryan C. Cutter '13 joined to make it a four-way dance off, it really got ugly. There was breaking, moon-walking, frequent recurrences of the worm (forward, backward, slow, fast….), hat spinning, headstands, gliding, and a near-disastrous chair collision, among many other memorable moves...

...while the U.S. saves too little and spends too much, creating giant deficits and debt. Unless China can transform its citizens from savers to spenders, the reform of the entire world economic system could suffer. "I don't see any evidence" that China's economy is rebalancing, MIT's Huang says. "Its always difficult to get consumption to grow in a limited period of time." Greater consumer spending in China could have a big impact as well on the world economy. Cornell's Prasad figures that if China can increase growth of private consumption to 20% a year (much higher...
