Harvard beat out Dartmouth with a first-place finish in the mile relay...
...exciting any time you win on the relay at the end," co-captain Margaret Schotte said. "We're still getting our legs under us after Spring Break, and as Coach [Frank Haggerty '68] said, we need to wait a week or two before we see results from our hard training. It was basically a fine-tuning week for next weekend...
...4x100 relay ran a good time in its first outdoor meet, according to co-captain Heather Hanson. However, both Hanson and freshman Carrie McGraw injured their hamstrings trying to avoid a man with a javelin, and Harvard did not enter the 4x400 relay...
...Breitling Orbiter 3 crossed the finish line (9.27[degrees] west longitude) over Mauritania last Saturday. Piccard was ecstatic: "I am with the angels and just completely happy," he said over satellite relay. Jones, for his part, said calmly, "I am going to have a cup of tea, like any good Englishman." They had sailed into history. And they decided to sail on a little more. "We do not land. We go to Egypt," Piccard radioed air-traffic control in Senegal. "We are a balloon flying around the world." "I will be tearing their eyes out when I see them," their...
...Bell Labs, Shockley recognized early on that the solution to one of the technological nightmares of the day--the cost and unreliability of the vacuum tubes used as valves to control the flow of electrons in radios and telephone-relay systems--lay in solid-state physics. Vacuum tubes were hot, bulky, fragile and short-lived. Crystals, particularly crystals that can conduct a bit of electricity, could do the job faster, more reliably and with 1 million times less power--if only someone could get them to function as electronic valves. Shockley and his team figured out how to accomplish this...
