He had worked every day since from 6:30 a.m. to 10 p.m., trying to persuade the youth of Nacogdoches to wear Army green. "But I'm O.K.," he told...

...students was awarded $250,000, “no strings attached,” to pursue graduate studies in engineering and the applied sciences. Timothy L. Kovachy ’09, and Jeff Thompson, a Harvard graduate student in physics, faced even higher odds than applicants in previous year—the number of fellowships granted this year by the Hertz Foundation was reduced by 50 percent. The winners were selected from 543 other scientists, a pool comparable in size to those of previous years. “The process for earning the fellowship is quite rigorous...
