...Rome-based writer's latest project is a would-be Broadway musical about the life and times of the colorful and controversial leader. The title, Burlesquoni, is easy, but Martera has been stuck trying to figure out how the show is supposed...
...Murray's latest project is an environmentally friendly, compact commuter car - a change of focus he insists isn't as dramatic as it sounds. "Philosophically, they're quite similar," he says. "It's all about designing cars that are lightweight," which makes them highly efficient as well. The major difference between the two types of cars, however, is cost. Creating a lightweight, highly efficient car that is also affordable - not to mention cool and fun - is "the most challenging thing I've ever done," Murray says. (See the 50 worst cars of all time...
...team in suburban London recently unveiled the T.25 car - a three-seater made of flyweight composite materials that is smaller than a Smart car but has more interior room and gets 80 miles to the gallon. He's also started work on a $14.9 million project - partially funded by the British government - to develop four prototypes of an electric car, to be called the T.27, by February 2011.

Murray sees no reason why other major brands, say Apple or Sony, couldn't license the technology to start making their own versions of fuel-efficient or electric cars...
According to a January report from UCLA's Civil Rights Project, African-American and Latino schoolchildren are more segregated than they have been since the time of Martin LutherKing Jr.'s death, in 1968. In the 2006-07 school year, nearly 40% attended schools--many of them subpar "dropout factories"--where students of color made up 90% to 100% of the student body...
