...accomplished fingerpickers to shame. While his instrumentals are undeniable, the vocal accompaniment he provides on songs like “Corrina, Corrina” is pleasant, even moving, if not a little rough around the edges. About a quarter of the way through the show, Kottke actually began to speak??first about how he never knows what to say to his audience, then about the ideal acoustics and intimidating decor of Sanders Theatre. Every digression or anecdote evoked a strange and enigmatic vision of the man and the movement he symbolizes. The strain of music that Kottke helped...

This boycott has its counterpart in a decades-old U.S. practice of threatening, defaming, or censoring scholars who dare...
...study, matter is easier to manipulate than light, which implies many future applications of their discovery. When the light pulse is in a matter state between BECs, “we can grab it with a laser beam—put it on the shelf so to speak??and later let it back on its way and revive it in the second BEC,” Hau said. During this “shelved” period, the matter wave can be manipulated by physicists and will preserve any changes when it is revived again as a laser...
