While harried streams of undergraduates rush to get to classes on time, one small circle of students stands in a ring in the Yard, oblivious to their surroundings. They are helpless--addicted to a little-publicized habit...
With all the drama of a Whisk commercial (you know, "ring around the collar!"), two young women tell about their plans for the future. One wants to be President. The other intends to go back to college. Then a third actress, obviously pregnant, says she had planned to have a family--"but not this soon."

In return, prosecutors asked the judge to sentence John to a single life term and Michael to 25 years in prison. Each had faced the possibility of multiple life sentences.

...machines now under construction at CERN, Fermilab and the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. Whizzing past each other, the SSC's two opposing beams, consisting of closely packed bunches of about 10 billion protons each, would complete about 3,000 laps a second. In four to six places around the ring, the beams would intersect, producing up to 100 million collisions a second. At each collision site, a highly sophisticated detector at least three stories high would be needed to sense and record the impacts, telltale debris and any newly created particles...
