...that time, amidst strong gusts of wind and intermittent rain, a small group of supporters gathered on the stairs, a turnout described as a "typical Harvard response" by one disappointed bystander...
...better or worse, the Kroks stand apart from their colleagues at Harvard. They are the oldest of the small, closed-harmony singing groups on campus, known (increasingly derisively) as the a capella groups. The Kroks' polish and tour itinerary are both unmatched, and their repertoire of songs from the 1920s through the 1950s has the kind of universal appeal that the contemporary pop tunes of other groups can't quite muster.

On Wednesday, researchers at New York?s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center announced that they had developed a new strain of mice, which look like your standard variety but carry an important piece of the cancer-prevention puzzle: They are genetically altered to delete the genes vital to the development of blood vessels that provide nourishment to tumors. Without the blood supply, the tumor eventually starves to death. This research comes on the heels of similar...
