...fire," announces Officer Kamal Ahmad, 26, a Spanish-speaking, California-born Pakistani American in his sixth year with the L.A. County sheriff's department. During five hours with Ahmad and an L.A.P.D. officer on another ride, Irwin Hentschel will be in on a stolen-car pursuit, see drug dealers scatter like pigeons, hear the story of a transvestite hooker, get an education on drugs and guns and how they rule all manner of life, and be pasted to the backrest when shots ring out and Officer Ahmad rockets through the streets in search of the source...
...tough. She was the Tennessee state champion in water skiing. Her coach, Glen Birdwell, says Karenna repeatedly skied after hitting the water so hard that she broke her ribs. And during one dry summer, when rattlesnakes began coming into the lake and the male skiers began to scream and scatter, Karenna grabbed a snake and held it aloft, its venomous mouth clamped in her grip...
...past few weeks, reading all the summer postcards on this page from exotic locales got me to thinking. When summer hits like a gust of fresh air after the academic year ends, Harvard students scatter to all ends of the world to work at prestigious, high-powered jobs and internships. From Shanghai to Paris to New Delhi, they send back tales of wondrous sights and tremendous opportunities. The future politicians and policy analysts go down to Washington, D.C., to learn their way around Capitol Hill and the White House. Those interested in mergers and acquisitions find themselves plum positions with...
...formed are two different things. Proteins twist and pleat themselves as they're synthesized. These basic forms are then further folded and linked to other proteins to create the uberstructures crucial to protein chemistry. Scientists traditionally dissect the atomic details of these folds by observing how crystallized proteins scatter X rays--experiments that can take years to complete. But robots and powerful X-ray generators have lately boosted the pace of discovery. Structures that two decades ago would have taken a couple of researchers 10 years to crack can now be solved by one in a matter of weeks...
...doesn't really matter though where we scatter to, because we'll always have our post.harvard forwarding addresses. There will always be a little piece of Harvard that is our very own. And as I graduate, I admit that post.harvard is a comforting thought. Maybe I should give a little something to Harvard, just to say thanks for that post address...
