...Corporation fellow Robert D. Reischauer ’63 also shed some light on the notoriously secretive search process, saying that performing the search would be much easier without consistent leaks to the media because such leaks force candidates to distance themselves publicly...
Physicists at Harvard have discovered a “quantum-mechanical magic trick” by finding a way to stop a pulse of light in one part of space and make it reappear two tenths of a millimeter away, according to researchers at the University’s Hau Laboratory. Led by Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics Lene V. Hau, the experiment involved firing lasers through two clouds of sodium atoms cooled to a few billionths of a degree above absolute zero. At such cold temperatures the atoms’ motions are virtually halted, and they begin to behave more...

Still, inspite of U.S. fears that the predominantly Shi'a government of Iraq is more than partial to Shi'a Iran, the briefing shed little light on which groups in highly factionalized Iraq - within the government or associated with the country's dominant Shi'a political parties - were cooperating with Iran and using the imported EFPs.

"Man, wouldn't it be great if the RER was like this every day?" said one middle-aged Socialist about the camaraderie on the train. No one really thinks it could be; usually it's not just Socialists...
