...inflation, it turns out, leads once again to multiple universes. The inflationary period in our own region of space ran out of steam early on, but theorists, including Stanford University's Andrei Linde and Tufts University's Alexander Vilenkin, have shown that it should continue in others. Our own part of the cosmos took a sort of off ramp to evolve into the universe we see today, but the rest kept going, at breakneck speed--and that part is still going, spawning universes along the way, beyond our comprehension. In some, says Linde, the laws of physics could easily...
...have the scores, the grades or the clean arrest record to get into Harvard is becoming even more obvious. The Times Higher Education Supplement just ranked Harvard the best university in the world. Continuing to sow the seeds of mediocrity, Yale scored, you know, a respectable eighth. Even Stanford, famous for resembling the world’s biggest Taco Bell, managed to score higher...

...despite what the Yale Daily News, The Stanford Daily, and even our very own Crimson had to say about this matter last year when iTunes first appeared, there’s no real reason to believe that using Apple’s ubiquitous music playing software to share music over a college dormitory network is legal.

...case at the Cabinet table instead of deferring to keepers of the flame like Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld. Failing that, try one-on-one in the Oval Office. Some are already carping that you lack the experience for running a sluggish bureaucracy like the State Department. Here at Stanford University, where you served as provost before going to Washington, they don't think so. Even your critics speak your name with respect as they recall the dispatch and efficiency you demonstrated in dealing with a proud faculty. Somebody who could handle the barons of academe can also handle State...
