...largest project, by far, will be continuing progress on the $52 million renovations to Widener Library. That project, which began in earnest this spring, will involve moving the library's three-plus million volumes off their shelves in an elaborate cycle that will, it is hoped, keep much of the library and its collection accessible during the move...
...love the camaraderie of living in dorms, but new data find that those who do are three times as likely as kids who reside off-campus to develop meningitis. Probable reason: overcrowding. The infection, while rare, is devastating. It starts as a fever and stiff neck but can quickly progress and cause brain damage, even death. What to do? Most cases can be prevented with vaccination.

...nimble diplomatic choreography to turn it into a workable peace plan. At issue: When NATO stops its bombing; the nature of NATO involvement in the U.N.-authorized peacekeeping force for Kosovo; and the size of the Yugoslavian military presence allowed to remain in the province.

Theme parks are an eternal work in progress. On a few basic ride genres (the coaster, the stunt show, the 3-D effects extravaganza, the bumpy-ride-plus-film that began with George Lucas' Star Tours), grownup kids are always looking for inventive story lines to harness to new techniques. As Woodbury says, I.O.A. is "a lot of evolution and a lot of revolution." Disney, with the Tower of Terror ride and its own 3-D smash It's Tough to Be a Bug, will surely be part of that revolution. But for now, I.O.A. is the glorious trendsetter...
