Caustic inter-collegiate skirmishes aside, let's investigate the alleged "reasons" our fair school has slipped to such depths. (Or, if you prefer a less rational approach, prepare to intercept the trucks carrying the issue to Out-of-Town News this week with a sign reading, "The People's Republic of Cambridge refuses to admit within its borders treasonous materials...
...group of elite officers at the Russian Ministry of Defense had cooked up a plan out of profound frustration. According to one colonel, they first intended to intercept President Boris Yeltsin's motorcade as it traveled to the Kremlin along Znamenka Street, where their headquarters is located. Then, with Yeltsin trapped, they would demand their salaries, which had not been paid for several months, and tell him "to his face what we think about how he has destroyed the armed forces," as the colonel...
...University of Oklahoma's Howard Bluestein really did develop an instrument akin to the device called Dorothy in Twister. Bluestein, who was one of the models for meteorologist Bill Harding (Bill Paxton) in the movie, named his device the Totable Tornado Observatory, TOTO for short, and tried to intercept an oncoming funnel. TOTO was a bit unwieldy (it tipped the scales at 400 lbs.), so researchers switched to the more sprightly Turtles, which are cheaper to build and more easily deployed...
Storm chasing as an organized enterprise began in 1972, when the Tornado Intercept Project was launched to provide what radar meteorologists refer to as "ground truth." At the time, the NSSL was developing a radar capable of detecting areas of strong rotation inside big tornado-producing storms. The chasers provided visual proof that particular radar signatures did indeed precede the formation of tornadoes. The new radar, Doppler radar, made use of the fact that radio waves shift frequency depending on whether the objects they bounce off are advancing or receding. In this case, the objects that create the Doppler shift...
