...Subcommittee on Space and Aeronautics, in a phone interview. What we need, in his opinion, is “a little money, a little attention, and a little organized structure”—that is, a structure for a response to an earthbound NEO. A search for objects in the 140-meter to one-kilometer range would require more people and more telescopes since the objects would be too small for amateurs’ more modest telescopes to routinely spot. But the cost would be only about $1 billion over 20 years, which is a pittance as scientific...
...Faculty’s highest governing board affirmed its commitment to study abroad and pledged to tackle the rising costs of scholarly publication in its bi-weekly meeting yesterday.

...library system at the forefront of academia well into the future. Increasing the ease of accessing Harvard’s formidable collections has always been at the forefront of Verba’s agenda, and it must remain a central goal.

...itself though numbers rather than names and statistics rather than stories is both illuminating and incisive.Igo covers the public’s response to the 1929 publication of “Middletown”—a best-selling anthropological study of a Midwestern community—the search for the “average American” in the public opinion polls of George Gallup and Elmo Roper in the 1930s and 1940s, and the controversy stirred up by the publication of the Kinsey Reports in 1948 and 1953. Her analysis focuses on how the development of surveys...
...people still luxuriated in bubble baths and drank dry martinis. So when both Random House and HarperCollins announced they had a new way of combining technology and literature, I was skeptical. Last week, Random House introduced Insight, a new browsing feature on their Web site that enables users to search and read excerpts from over 5,000 of its books. HarperCollins recently installed a similar feature, though both of them are years behind Amazon.com, which has allowed peeks into the titles on its site since 2003. But Random House and HarperCollins have loftier goals than Amazon: they want to bring...
