...turbo-charged engines get smoother with each generation and this one performed outstandingly. The base model, outfitted with a six-speed manual transmission, provides plenty of pickup, barely noticeable turbo-lag and enough juice to handle lane changes at velocities well beyond the speed limit. The car's handling feels taut, and only the most sensitive of drivers will notice body-roll when cornering, due to the front-wheel drive setup...
...lower than what we had expected, especially since e-mail is such an efficient way of communicating,” said Richard W. Grant, an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and the lead author of the study. “There’s no time lag and no phone tag.” The researchers found that doctors who practiced within academic centers and Health Maintenance Organizations were more frequent IT users than their colleagues in smaller practices.

"We are engineers," he says to the room. "We take the problem, decompose it and solve it." And not just any engineers, but engineers at City College--an up-by-your-bootstraps institution famed for offering the disadvantaged a gateway to the middle class. Grove, who slipped out of his native Hungary during the 1956 revolution...
