Other green-conscious professors contacted by The Crimson bragged about their fancy bicycles. Economist Emmanuel Farhi says his bike is “very powerful,” and physicist Gerald Gabrielse notes that his is made of titanium. Still others, such as economist Matthew Nunn, mathematician Bret J. Benesh, English professor Elizabeth D. Lyman, and political scientists Glyn Morgan and Cindy Skach said they used Zipcars when they needed mechanized transport. “Nearly everyone I know uses them,” Morgan says of his Cambridge neighbors. The Zipcar service allows people to rent cars quickly...
...game, frequently, is the oddball juxtaposition: moral philosophy and gymnastics (Jumpers); Fermat's last theorem and Byron's love poetry (Arcadia); James Joyce and Vladimir Lenin (Travesties). "Tom said to me once that he decides on one play, and then shortly after decides on a different one," says Trevor Nunn, director of Rock 'n' Roll and several other Stoppard plays. "And then he lets them crash into each other." The Coast of Utopia, his nearly nine-hour trilogy about Russia's radical political thinkers of the 19th century, was a relatively straight-ahead historical journey (which is why this critic...
...reviews.” The IAEA lacks the resources to inspect North Korea thoroughly, so U.S. inspectors should ensure full compliance.Moreover, the U.S. should use this opportunity to improve international cooperation over the North Korean issue.

It follows the troubled Yost surfing dynasty: Grandpa Mitch (Bruce Greenwood) is a retired ascetic; son Butchie (Brian Van Holt) is a champ turned junkie; grandson Sean (Greyson Fletcher) wants to surf competitively, over Mitch's objections. They meet John (Austin Nichols), a pompadoured stranger who may be an alien or God (his last name is Monad, a Gnostic reference). Actual, literal miracles begin happening...
...There was one glimmer, literally, of light amidst all the darkness. The Nunn-Lugar program has dismantled and repurposed so much weapons-grade uranium in the last decade that 50% of the fuel currently consumed by U.S. nuclear power plants is now derived from warheads which once sat atop of Warsaw Pact rockets and missiles. Since about one fifth of all electricity in the U.S. comes from nuclear power plants, Nunn added, "One out of 10 of these light bulbs right here in this room, theoretically, comes from missile material that was aimed at us during the Cold...
