...unlikely as it seems, each of those small pinkish disks is a diamond, growing from a tiny seed crystal under conditions carefully created and monitored by Apollo's proprietary software. Chemically, Apollo's creations are no different from the diamond that is squeezed from carbon deep in the earth at incredible pressure and temperature. "It still blows people's minds that you can manufacture diamond," says Bryant Linares, president and CEO of the 17-year-old company based in suburban Boston. "People still feel that there is something mystical about diamonds and how they are made...

In 1998, her 16th-seeded Crimson team did the impossible, stunning No. 1-seeded Stanford in the NCAA Tournament with a 71-67 win in Palo Alto. Harvard was then led by First-Team All-American Allison Feaster, and the Crimson’s victory marked the first—and perhaps last—time...
...similar meaning to a number? What can now be derived from reaching the grim milestone of 3,000 American dead in Iraq?
