Although the Crimson (0-1) failed to capture a set, the women’s squad kept pace with its opponent throughout most of its first game. “At end of day they were more consistent then we were,” junior co-captain Katherine Kocurek said. “We had a lot of fight and a bit more diversity than [the Pioneers...

According to Hawking, if tiny black holes occurred at CERN, they would evaporate before they got a chance to do any damage.

Such books can be entertaining and sometimes cathartic but usually not very nourishing. American Wife is something else entirely--the opposite of a political satire, in fact--with a languorous pace and a fierce literary integrity: Alice and Charlie are complete creations, unique in their humanity--Alice especially. She is the quirky and (usually) reliable narrator. This is the story of her inner life, a place that only fiction...
