...unorthodox member of the U.S. Olympic ski team, but I find his honesty and integrity refreshing. He must be doing something right to have won as many races as he has. After reading the article and seeing him in a TV interview, I was taken by his pure heart. He is uncomfortable about the money and acclaim and seems like a well-grounded young man. I hope uptight Americans can see past Miller's rebellious streak and cherish him for the free spirit and fine skier he is. Deborah A. Schmuck Denver Your story referred to competitive skiing...
...Hitler, it might still be, but his aggression drove scientists out of Europe, and the desperate need to defeat him galvanized the U.S. and Britain into pouring money into defense research, creating powerful new technologies--radar, sonar, the atom bomb. U.S. leaders learned that pure research like atomic and electromagnetic physics, combined with massive government funding, could lead to dramatic breakthroughs in military technology. Because the Soviet Union almost immediately became just as ominous a threat as Nazi Germany had been, Congress created the National Science Foundation in 1950 to fund basic and applied science, mostly at universities, "to promote...
...those organizations focused in varying degrees on applied science--attempts to invent useful new technologies--but all of them put money into pure science as well. So did private corporations, including AT&T, IBM and Xerox, which hired not just engineers but also mathematicians, physicists, biologists and even astronomers and gave them free rein. The strategy led to utterly impractical but revolutionary discoveries. The Big Bang theory of the cosmos, to name just one example, got its first experimental proof at AT&T's Bell Labs...
...confronted with defensively throughout the remainder of the Ivy slate is the zone defense it saw against Brown.

...decades ago, the potter began arranging her bowls, beakers and bottles along window ledges - airing them, so to speak, where their pure forms could be worshiped by the eye - and an artist was born. But despite the loftiness of her achievements - Hanssen Pigott is considered one of the world's best ceramic artists - the beauty of this exhibition is in showing the earthiness of her inspiration. Born in the Victorian goldmining town of Ballarat in 1935, this daughter of an engineer and craft teacher naturally, it seems, sought salvation from the ground. As an apprentice to Ivan McMeekin...
