...your book, you state, “Guerillas ensnared women.” Could you teach me how to ensnare a woman? 7) Any wild stories from Bryn Mawr? 8) So, you want to move Quadlings to a new Allston Campus. Have you ever looked at a map? ’Cause that’s pretty damn far! 9) Why did the chicken cross the road? 10) Are you able to give presidential pardons for, say, four noise violations and two incidents of underage drinking? 11) How’d you get into the University president?...
...same time—but for me they intersect in different, illuminating ways,” Johnson said. Instead of a final research paper, the class will culminate with a historiographical essay in which students will “figure out a body of scholarship that they want to map out and analyze,” Johnson said. Johnson came to Harvard in the fall of 2006 from New York University, where his colleague and friend Harvey Molotch, a professor of sociology, teaches a class with a similarly provocative title: “The Human Toilet...
...keep tabs on valuable cargo, rental cars, and even parolees who are shackled to GPS-enabled ankle bracelets. Cell phones are routinely embedded with GPS chips too, and can communicate their location via cellular networks. (The Helio Ocean phone, for example, has a "Buddy Beacon" feature that lets you map your friends' precise whereabouts on your handset.)

"Most consumers are just looking to get from Point A to Point B," notes Tom Murray, vice president of TomTom...
...Ideally, we should abandon the idea of continents altogether, turning from the familiar, but distorted, Mercator projection to a Dymaxion map. The commonly used Mercator projection developed in 1568 maps the globe on a rectangular, flat surface which stretches vertical distances. Conversely, the Dymaxion map, developed by former Harvard poetry professor and visionary, R. Buckminster Fuller, projects Earth’s surface onto a polyhedron, minimizing distortion. Not only do Dymaxion maps more accurately represent geography, they also avoid placing countries in accordance with the north-is-good, south-is-bad formula implicit in the tendentious original Mercator. In fact...
...proportional allocation of primary delegates in its party rules 20 years ago, the possibility of a months-long death march to the convention has both reflected the Democrats' proudest egalitarian instinct - and hidden the germ of their worst nightmare. That latter possibility has now arrived. There is no road map for where the Democrats are going; there aren't even many roads. The candidates and their aides have only a dim grasp of how the endgame will unfold, though some maintain a healthy sense of humor about their predicament. David Axelrod, Barack Obama's top strategist, donned a shirt...
