...three years later, Harvard still owns more than $34 million in Shell stock. Student protests continue today. On Nov. 10 (the anniversary of Mr. Saro-Wiwa's execution), the Environmental Action Committee organized student protests on the steps of Widener and in front of the local Shell station. These were part of an international day of protest against Shell's involvement in Nigeria. Like Mr. Sachs and the 1995 council, we urge Harvard to join us in censure of Shell Oil by fully divesting itself of all Shell stock. BENJAMIN D. TOLCHIN '01, DANIEL M. HENNEFELD '99, DANIELLE C.

Orbiting Earth 200 miles up, it would serve as a flying laboratory for inventing new materials and conducting pharmaceutical work. More important, it would...
...year from inexpensive, tablet-style devices for surfing the Web and reading e-mail. At this week's Comdex show in Las Vegas, Cyrix is unveiling a prototype of its 2.7-lb. WebPAD with a 10.4-in. color screen and a 200-MHz processor. Wireless technology requires a "base station" or computer to be nearby, and the keyboard is optional, but the chipmaker hopes to entice vendors to sell the device for about $500 by next summer...
