...doing MIT a service by providing bodies to fill them up. On the subject of students Harvard could send over to MIT, we’re pretty sure that our ivy-covered institution would be willing to part with some of its female undergraduates to even out the gender ratio a little further down Mem Drive. MIT men would undoubtedly be thrilled—and Harvard girls have a better shot at some female-dominated social space over there (although they might miss shivering outside of final clubs as “gentlemen” give them the up-down...
...Matters won't get any easier. Economists worry that Hatoyama's social-welfare programs will only increase the government debt ratio, which is already more than twice that of the U.S. His reforms are also likely to face stiff resistance from the still powerful elements of the establishment, especially the government bureaucracy, which won't readily surrender its influence.

...electric-car manufacturers is an affordable battery that can handle countless partial charge-discharge cycles over an eight-to-10-year life cycle. The battery has to absorb energy from braking and provide short bursts of power for acceleration. Lithium-ion batteries, with their high density-to-weight ratio, provide the greatest acceleration and range with the fewest batteries compared with lead-acid or nickel-metal-hydride batteries. One big problem: they can overheat and even blow up - bad enough in a single-battery laptop but potentially disastrous in a multibattery electric car. So engineers have been busy resolving...
