...Dang remembers the night in 1963 when the lights came on in Uong Bi. "People were so excited," the 70-year-old tea-shop owner says, recalling the cheers that rang through the northern Vietnamese town after one of the country's first coal-fired power plants began operating. "Their whole lives they had wished for electricity." Be careful what you wish for. Soon after the plant opened, Dang's wife developed a cough from the thick black smoke from the power plant that hung over the town. His children had near-constant runny noses and neighbors reported other nagging...
...Centennial Bell, a half-size replica bell, and bell-shaped cookies rang in concert yesterday at the Business School’s Baker Library. The library’s belltower became home to the first of 18 new bells being delivered from Russia to Harvard, with the rest slated to be installed in Lowell House next summer.

Freshman forwards Leigh McCoy and Maggie McVeigh executed a give-and-go play, with McVeigh drawing the defense only to pass it off to an open McCoy, who put the shot...
Several refusenik soldiers rang Rabbi Re'em Hacohen, a former teacher of theirs at a yeshiva, or religious seminary, in the West Bank. "They were all loyal and responsible citizens, wracked by the decision whether to obey their superiors," says the rabbi, who urged them to act "with a clear conscience." The rabbi, himself a former soldier, lays blame on the army brass, not the refuseniks: "The army should be used to fight our enemies, not against our own society...
