...wore a hat and sunglasses inside, a student with no Facebook page. Talking to him, said English department head Lucinda Roy, "was like talking to a hole. He wasn't there most of the time." Even students who had lived with him knew virtually nothing about him; the simplest conversations--Where are you from? What's your major?--got a monosyllabic response. A "hello" was a big deal. They never heard him talk about weapons or killing or violence--because he never talked at all. "We just thought he was shy," his suitemate Karan Grewal told TIME...
...reserve mostly center on Gandhi's limitations as a family man. Where the world sees a saint, Rajmohan Gandhi sees a cruel husband and a mostly absent father, paying scant attention to his children's schooling and dragging wife Kasturba across continents at will, belittling her desire for the simplest of material possessions, then expecting her to comply when he turns from amorous husband to platonic companion to apparent adulterer. Gandhi took on a magnetic personality in the presence of young women, and was able to persuade them to join him in peculiar experiments of sleeping and bathing naked together...
...gives over much of the class to a Socratic symposium on Jesus' simplest yet most difficult sayings, which reveals a lot about the class's earnest attempts to make sense of rather disparate worlds. "'Turn the other cheek'--Does that mean we're supposed to let them hit you on the other cheek too?" she asks. A boy answers, "You should, you know, just take what's coming. It's not like if someone hits you. If someone doesn't give you the right change back, you shouldn't come back looking for a fight." A girl argues that...
...baked by the master himself. It takes only 30 seconds to bake to blistered perfection in the woodburning oven, and he expertly spins and lifts the pizza with the long wooden paddle. He has the alchemist's touch that turns mere dough and a minimal amount of the simplest toppings into a cavalcade of flavor. The secret to eating a thin-crust Neapolitan pizza is to slash the pie into four pieces on the spot, fold a slice in half, and wolf it down before the crust deflates and the sauce makes a Vesuvian lava flow down your front. With...
...that the cosmos of chords consists of weird, multidimensional spaces, known as orbifolds, that turn back on themselves with a twist, like the Möbius strips math teachers love to trot out to prove to students that a two-dimensional figure can have only one side. Indeed, the simplest chords, which consist of just two notes, live on an actual Möbius strip. Three-note chords reside in spaces that look like prisms--except that opposing faces connect to each other. And more complex chords inhabit spaces that are as hard to visualize as the multidimensional universes of string theory...
