...hilltop home, this lingering band nibbled on cheese cubes and sipped red wine as they admired the building's imposing white columns and soaring rotunda. These lingerers were more than tourists, more than guests. They were Jefferson's family. Many breathed a sigh of relief that the 90°F midday heat was giving way to such a perfect spring evening...
Based on highly scientific anthropological data (observations of final club social life and midday Yard interactions), I think Harvard is struggling to balance the old-school traditions of boat shoes and the Cape on the one hand, and its current attempts at diversity on the other. The student body has settled at a level of neo-prep, meaning that kids who wear the polos with the collars up may or may not be WASP-y lacrosse players who belong to the Fly.

One after another, big rainbow trout take his flies, jumping and fighting the line until he plays each one out to the bank, removes the hook and gently returns the fish to the clear, cold water. Rosgen, a hydrologist, helped bring this stretch of river back to life. The land along the water here had been hammered by years of cattle grazing, the banks eroded after...

The microscope, which detects the con-tours of molecules by dragging a flexible sliver of coated silicon over them, was malfunctioning. After puzzling through his problem for months, Thundat realized one rainy day during a rare midday foray outdoors that the microscope's probe was warping as it sponged up moisture from the air. Intrigued, he ran a simple experiment and discovered that the probe was a marvelously precise hygrometer. If it could measure moisture, he wondered, why not all sorts of other stuff? Thundat, 46, has since built...
...switch, which began last Friday, has been mostly smooth sailing except for a few glitches, Davis said. He said the largest transition-related problem reported thus far involved transferring files using SecureFTP, which the systems did not support. By midday Saturday, the Linux administration group at HASCS had it up and running...
