...visits, seven short of the record set by Brown’s Nick Hartigan last year. Hartigan’s record of 52 rushing touchdowns is a bit further away, with Dawson sitting at 43 after the season’s first week.But the 5’10, 200 pound senior says records are the last thing on his mind.“I’m not thinking about it at all,” Dawson said. “I figure that my first priority is to help this team be successful, to win every game.

...supplies of petroleum become scarcer and more costly, the notion of hydrogen-powered cars becomes more appealing. Hydrogen provides a tremendous boom for its bang: burning hydrogen releases more energy per pound of fuel than any other material on earth. Spurred by the key invention of the fuel cell, which allows for a controlled consumption instead of a rocket-launching burn, automobile manufacturers have developed concepts for hydrogen-powered cars, touting their vehicles as the future of transportation. Last week, for instance, General Motors announced that it will place 100 hydrogen-fueled cars on the road next year, with...
...consumers will require an entirely new infrastructure to transport the gas as well as new filling stations. Safely holding hydrogen in cars will require heavily reinforced tanks to prevent the family station wagon from going the way of the Hindenburg. And although hydrogen has a high energy yield per pound, it has an incredibly low mass density, even at subzero temperatures, so fuel tanks need to be unreasonably large to give hydrogen vehicles usable driving ranges. Still, scientists hope that these challenges can be solved with new—albeit potentially expensive—technologies...
...just got into Harvard, you’re not sure what the hell you plan to do here, much less in life, and you’ve just been given a 10-pound Courses of Instruction to sift through. What the hell do you do?
