...students’ minds. With the Free Thesis Project, students should be assured that generations of researchers—or at least people who are fascinated by Harvard students—will read their work online. This project is a perfect student-led extension of the open access motion recently passed by the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, which, through the Harvard University Library’s new Office of Scholarly Communication, will offer free access to all professors’ newest scholarly work. We hope that all students will submit their theses to the online depository, though we understand...

And the more we document and learn about these injuries...

If some star is hanging from a rope over riches protected by a sophisticated alarm system, there's no one but Dassin to thank for it. An official remake of Rififi is due out next year, with Al Pacino...
