...urban life; and undergraduate life—but there is reason to be optimistic that he will make good on the environmental commitment he made to Sustainable Allston. Indeed, Harvard is not a rookie in the campaign to preserve the environment. Shad Hall at Harvard Business School sports solar panels built this year, thanks to a grant from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative and an interest-free loan from the Harvard Green Campus Initiative (HGCI). HGCI holds $3 million in funds that it lends out for environment-oriented improvements like the one atop Shad...

Scientists differ on Voyager 1's precise location, but radio transmissions from the probe indicate that it has entered or is about to enter a turbulent border zone more than 13 billion kilometers from Earth called "termination shock," where matter from interstellar space slams into radiation emitted by the Sun. Data sent by Voyager 1 showed a marked drop in the speed of solar winds and a hundredfold increase in charged particles, some of which...
