...into each one of the windows in Leverett’s McKinlock Hall. It doesn’t take a sexually frustrated freshman to recognize the arrow-headed tip and vague double circles at the bottom. The centerpiece of each window’s metal grate appears phallic shaped (see photo). “I’ve always thought that it’s very Leverett,” says resident Jori A. Pearsall ’07. House Master and Mallinckrodt Professor of Physics Howard Georgi asked not to be interviewed about the windows, stating over e-mail...
...would be difficult to imagine a man who looks less like a writer than John Grisham. A whisker under 6 ft., Grisham, 51, is handsome and trim, a former jock who's still in shape.

Using comparative analyses of these attributes, along with dating that shows when various features appeared or vanished, they have constructed increasingly elaborate family trees that show the relationships between apes, ancient hominids and us. Along the way they learned, among other things, that Darwin, even with next to no actual data, was close to being right in his intuition that apes...
