...Game Sulking about the profound lack of debauchery for this year’s tailgate? No need; head on over to Tommy Doyle’s for an 8:15 a.m. breakfast and booze spread. Manager Garrett H. Tingle says that the Irish pub will serve up a “full brunch menu.” Brunch, in this case, means package deals of eggs, home fries, toast, and beers ($12-20, substitutions $2-3). The pub is also cooking up wings, burgers, and more. Who needs a U-Haul? Sat., Nov. 18 at 8:15 a.m. Tommy Doyles...

Given the profound impact the academy can have on defusing potentially cataclysmic situations involving the global use of energy, Harvard should bring these scholars under one roof by creating a center for energy studies. Once hubs for the confluence of ideas, modern universities have evolved into institutions fragmented by the bureaucracy of school...
...failure to do so would be a display of disrespect for our ancestors and heirs, and a philistine indifference to the magnificent achievements that the human mind is capable of. Also, the picture of humanity’s place in nature that has emerged from scientific inquiry has profound consequences for people’s understanding of the human condition. The discoveries of science have cascading effects, many unforeseeable, on how we view ourselves and the world in which we live: for example, that our planet is an undistinguished speck in an inconceivably vast cosmos; that all the hope...
