...lawsuit] gets everyone’s attention, that’s all for the good of the company. Maybe there is a quiet understanding that they’ll get media attention and [then] quietly drop the lawsuit,” Fine said...
...reasons are simple: Harvard students, like many university students, keep hours that the adult working world does not share. Many go to bed in the small hours of the morning and wake up just in time for lunch. Also unlike working adults, they often do not have a consistently quiet workplace in their homes (or, in this case, their rooms) in which to study late at night. Further, it goes without saying that the average Harvard undergraduate doesn’t have the space in his or her dorm room for a library containing thousands of resources and reserves...
Lamont is the library most often used by undergraduates, and with good reason. Its sizeable reserves, quiet study space and group work areas make it an ideal place to get work done. But with its present closing time of 12:45 a.m., Lamont, the latest-open library at Harvard (with the exception of Cabot Science Library during exam periods), kicks out users hours before they finish working. We think that Lamont’s books, reserves, and layout make it the ideal library to be kept open for students through the night...
...that one man-advantage tally that put the Crimson on the board? It came from Harvard’s second unit. At 5:27 into the final frame, sophomore Ryan Maki—quiet for much of the season and occasionally hobbled by injury—netted a pretty feed from junior Dan Murphy, who hovered behind the left side of the goalmouth, to bring the Crimson within a goal...

Canadian geophysicists are still puzzling over a series of rhythmic tremors they identified a couple of years ago beneath the floor of Puget Sound. They don't know what caused them, but they think the tremors may be associated with rising stress along the fault. A bit of subterranean rustling doesn't mean that a great earthquake is imminent, of course, but the tsunami warning signs...
