...tension in the family worsened. Einstein and Mileva exchanged letters arguing about both money and vacation timing, and at the end of June a curt postcard came from Hans Albert in response to his father's request that he be available on a particular date to go on their proposed summer vacation: Dear Papa, You should contact Mama about such things, because I'm not the only one to decide here. But if you're so unfriendly to her, I don't want to go with you either. We have plans for a nice stay that I'd only give...
...single purpose: learn Mandarin. To this end, we may only speak in Chinese, read Chinese, write Chinese for the entirety of the program; the punishment for being caught speaking English more than once is nothing short of dismissal.

Unfortunately, the offerings in the souvenir shops don't quite capture the majestic beaches and quaint villages you've enjoyed over the past two weeks. Either they're too bawdy for Grandpa or they feature the talent-free scrawlings of a local artist. You can't help but think, "I wish I could make my own postcards." It turns out you can, if you have access to a camera phone. To send...
Harvard Stadium may look pretty on a postcard, but outside of football season, it doesn’t get much play. A series of renovations slated to begin next month will change that, upgrading the 103-year-old National Historic Landmark to a multi-purpose facility available for year-round use by varsity, intramural, and club teams. The planned developments include replacing the grass field with a synthetic surface, installing lights on the stadium’s exterior, and providing for the implementation of a seasonal “bubble.” The project is estimated to cost around...
