Many will remember himas a patriot; more than a few will remember the death he dealt to thousands of innocents. On Aug. 6, 1945, Air Force pilot Paul Tibbets Jr. climbed into his B-29 aircraft, the Enola Gay--named after his mother--and dropped the first atom bomb over the city of Hiroshima, Japan. Nearly 80,000 people lost their lives that day, but Tibbets never expressed remorse. "I sleep clearly every night," he once said, asserting that his actions--which brought an end to the war--saved lives. Fearful of protesters, he requested that no funeral arrangements...
...from concentrators and senior thesis writers. To address the need, Expos has committed more funds to the Center to add more tutorial hours; furthermore, the program has recruited and funded advanced graduate students as Departmental Writing Fellows to help students with discipline-specific writing in the concentrations. For this pilot year, the Fellows are currently in History and Psychology, and we hope to create two more Fellowships in two of the eight tracks in Life Sciences. Conceivably, many more departments could institute such Fellowships...
Last year, The Crimson briefly faced some extra competition. Thanks to a pilot project sponsored by the Undergraduate Council (UC), several copies of The New York Times were delivered to each dining hall every morning, allowing students to read America’s paper of record as they grabbed a bite on the way to class. These few newspapers pierced the proverbial “Harvard bubble” and sparked plenty of breakfast table discussions of issues of national and global concern. And undergraduates responded: the UC received more than 350 notes from students who enjoyed being able...
...electricity, and that would be rugged enough to function in often harsh conditions. Prototypes of the laptop (dubbed XO) - with built-in video and audio, a hand-crank and low wattage requirements - are getting high marks from technology reviewers. Some 8,000 units are up and running in pilot villages from Cambodia to Uruguay. But perhaps an even more difficult task was to generate enough mass interest in the project to allow the computer to be produced on such a vast scale that costs could be kept down. The program's chief education officer, Argentine neurology professor Antonio Battro...
EVERYONE WAS EXPECTING him to sit and watch from the sidelines. But moments after the Green Bay Packers' first-string receiver separated a shoulder, Max McGee was forced to borrow a teammate's helmet before racing onto the field. The former Air Force pilot made history that day, catching the first touchdown pass in Super Bowl history--leading the Packers to a 35-10 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in 1967. After 12 seasons, McGee retired, refocusing his energy on Chi-Chi's, the Mexican-restaurant chain he co-founded, which operated throughout the U.S. until 2004. He died...
