...fraternal complacency that has characterized some Nieman classes in the past is on the wane under Sargent's leadership. His quiet nature discourages the club atmosphere. But although he has diminished the inward focus of the Nieman program, he has not done much to enlarge the outward perspective...
Once an ominous flare is sighted, word will have to be flashed quickly to the lunar astronauts. Speeding outward from the sun, 93 million miles away, the first deadly protons could begin hitting the moon an hour after the first flare sighting. The lethal rain would become increasingly strong, reaching a maximum about six hours later. Long before that maximum, though, if all went well, the astronauts would have blasted off in their LEM to rendezvous and found safety within the protective skin of the orbiting Apollo...

Blood mixed with material from inside the abscess to produce a clot that filled the artery cavity too tightly to be pushed along, thus blocking the arterial flow.* That part of the heart muscle beyond the plug, deprived of nourishing blood and oxygen, lost its elastic muscularity, disrupted the heart's delicate electrical-conduction system, and eventually stopped working. In some cases the victims of these occlusions were dead...

Even the more massive structures that rim the campus are open to the city around them. "We use the buildings as gateways," Netsch explains. As urban as the new subway station built to disgorge students right onto one of its walkways...
