...brought little joy into the world, I am left with only bile. I hate having to smash my big Idea to pieces and then classify and reassemble the parts, to turn each thought into a topic sentence or its subsidiary, and to organize them in an arbitrary linear structure which undercuts the extent of their coherence. What perverse monsters we are to do this for a grade. It’s bad enough that we distort the world with notions of cause and effect, presence and absence, positive and negative, either and or—conventions of thought which become...
...relationship between consuming peanut butter, peanuts and other nuts and protection against Type II Diabetes is linear, according to the study. The more the subjects ate, the greater the protective effect the peanuts...
...absence of available seats, late class shoppers overwhelmed Science Center 309 last Wednesday as they filled every unoccupied corner of the room. Students sat on the floor directly in front of the lecturer and on top of the radiator to hear the first lecture of Math 23a: Theoretical Linear Algebra and Multivariable Calculus...
...dolls with nuanced facial expressions. "I like to be on the wave of the next insanely great thing," he says. His motors work because the alloy nitinol can assume different shapes as its temperature fluctuates. An electrical current causes a nitinol wire in the device to shorten, allowing the linear motor to contract like a human muscle but at 1,000 times the strength. That's a simple task but an important one, and one MacGregor believes can reach markets worth $3.8 billion. The NanoMuscle, which costs less than $1 to make, qualifies as nanotech, the company says, because...
...suit to ethnobotonist Richard Evans Schultes to a stock-car-racing monkey named Jocko. Not only fun but educational - I was pleased to learn the origin of the Jacuzzi and the Leslie speaker - this clever theme limits the self-indulgence of the works and virtually forces creators to write linear narratives. You end up with such oddball delights as Nicky B.'s juvenile, hip-hop version of the old chestnut Davey Crocket story ("My hunting skills are badass!") Reading "SPX 2002," is like listening to a cover-song compilation by interesting bands you might not otherwise have the patience...
