...Another shortcoming of such a mode of Holocaust education is its narrow scope. Children are all too likely to become embroiled in the personal horror of the individual they are studying and thus miss the horror of the Holocaust as a whole.

The French government has committed atrocities equal in scope and destruction in its bloody history...
...Harvard reached the playoff through a strong showing in Saturday’s games—an 8-7 win in the first round versus George Washington was followed up by a narrow 12-9 loss to second-seeded Marist...

(30 m) plume of white smoke billows into the sky, obscuring the sun and spreading the sulfurous odor of rotting eggs.

Already, they have transported more than 88 million cu. ft. (2.5 million cu m) of dirt to build eight miles (13 km) of levees around the site. Dozens of cranes...

They also need a sense of touch, and it's their whiskers that do most of that work for them. What researchers never knew was precisely how elaborate that tactile system is, nor exactly how it operates. But in research that will be published in the Feb. 28 issue of Neuron, investigators at MIT have come up with an imaginative tool for finding out: high-speed video technology that works at 3,200 frames...
