...gorgeous.”Drummond explains that the new facilities are a significant improvement as they shed an old, peripatetic quality. “The previous labs were designed to be rapidly shifted; they were meant to be mobile,” he says. “This kept us from having some things like overhead storage space.” The building houses a range of departments: neuroscience, bioengineering, particle physics, and biophysics. But it is not only Harvard sciences that are making use of the space. Kate A. Borowitz ‘11, a concentrator in English...
...standards of those Americans conditioned by late-night comics to think of Palin as an inarticulate idiot incapable of putting coherent sentences together or understanding basic policy questions, she succeeded enormously. She had a solid 90 minutes of rapid, confident discourse and kept herself from being the story of the night (as well as the constant punch line of the election season). Improved her image and partially turned the page on McCain's bad two weeks, enabling the Republican-ticket team to try to regain some footing in a contest that has been steadily slipping away - but didn't revolutionize...

Her days of intense rehearsal were apparent, but she was much smoother than in recent media interviews when unspooling canned lines and opinions. Was crisp and calm and kept her folksiness to a few short bursts but effectively unleashed her earthy, relatable charm at choice moments in a winning...

Just as Palin kept her head well above water, so too did Biden keep himself under control, staying on message and away from long-winded, condescending and self-serving responses. Perhaps more stilted and tense than usual for most of the debate, but he never forgot who is at the top of the ticket and the immediate goals of the campaign. If he reviews the videotape of the debate, he will likely see some missed opportunities to give a slightly different answer in a slightly different way. A solid performance without fireworks, which may best serve the Democrats at this...
