...Perpetual Motion, the first Mainstage show of the semester, Harvard dancers take their footwork and finesse to the Loeb Mainstage for the first time in over 20 years, beautifully proving that they well deserve this long-awaited spotlight. Until this past weekend, campus dance performances seemed forever confined to lecture halls and small performance spaces hardly capable of illuminating the subtle beauty and powerful art of dance in live performance. Directors Daphne Adler '99 and Kiesha Minyard '99, both past co-directors of the Harvard-Radcliffe Ballet Company, obviously knew that the Mainstage is an ideal venue for showcasing Harvard...
Stewart and Cohen kept their word. Council accomplishments under their rule included frozen yogurt in Annenberg and fly-by lunches in Loker commons. Student services were firmly placed in the spotlight, and Free Burma bills were essentially a thing of the past...

...while this electronic brain, as headline writers called it, took the spotlight, ENIAC had a lot of unsung rivals, many of them shrouded in wartime secrecy. At Bletchley Park, Alan Turing built a succession of vacuum-tube machines called Colossus that made mincemeat of Hitler's Enigma codes. At Harvard, large, clattering electromechanical computers in IBM's Mark series also did wartime calculations. Even the Germans made a stab at computing with Konrad Zuse's Z electromechanical computers, the last of which was the first general-purpose computer controlled by a program...
