Look at the issue again, in a subtler shade. Investigators from the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights arrive for a compliance review of Harvard admissions with a specific directive to investigate possible discrimination against Asian-Americans. Harvard has justified the rate of Asian-American admissions--consistently 80 to 90 percent that of white students--with the group's relative lack of legacy students and small number of varsity athletes, both recruitment factors at the University...

...scientists have devised an impressive array of mathematical techniques, or algorithms, for rendering 3-D images on a 2-D computer screen. Traditionally, these algorithms -- for drawing things in perspective, for example, removing surfaces hidden from the viewer's line of sight or painting finished objects with texture and shade -- have been encoded in programs and stored in computers as software. As such, they used up massive quantities of computer time. To draw a simple object ten times a second, the minimum needed to create the illusion of motion, took 1 billion calculations a second. The highly polished images that...
