...that each house should have the "right" breakdown of different groups represented on campus. What is troubling is not the administration's commitment to a rich, varied atmosphere--there is no question that one of the most enticing social and educational qualities Harvard offers is the unique opportunity to interact with exciting, interesting and different people of diverse backgrounds and experiences. The failure of the University's recent policy lies in the definition of diversity that has guided the move to randomization...
...many as 10 such genes. Once these genes are identified, scientists can develop tests for a man's susceptibility to prostate cancer and eventually, perhaps, use gene therapy to fight the disease. Long before that, however, identification of the genes may help doctors understand what environmental factors interact with the genes and contribute to the development of prostate tumors...

Instead they try to conjure thought up by building lots of small, simple programs and encouraging them to interact. Earlier in his career, Brooks helped put this approach on the AI map by building tiny, insectlike robots--"bugbots"--that wandered around his laboratory without the benefit of any single guiding program. Cog's "mind," similarly, is just a collection of loosely coordinated digital reflexes scattered among its eight processors...

Will they get to see that the masters emerge from their palaces only once in a while, when they need to impress parents, and that their purpose is still not clear to students? I don't think...
