After an exhaustive three-year search he found it floating in a Swiss soup mix, and persuaded the manufacturer to sell the noodle separately so that he could incorporate it into his stock of ingredients filed away in the CSG kitchen below the brick walls of Kirkland House...
...years ago to build SparkNotes.com, an online repository of short-and-sweet commentary on classic works of literature, they exhibited an entrepreneurial spirit characteristic of the late 90s dotcom boom that surrounded them. That particular wave of fervor more or less subsided when the bottom fell out of the stock market; however, it seems that Harvard’s own version of the internet land-grab is still in full swing.

Brussels boasted last week that all provisions of the 1997 Kyoto protocol on climate change are now legally binding. As part of the Kyoto deal, the E.U. agreed to lower greenhouse gas emission levels by 8% below 1990 levels between 2008 and 2012. But legislation alone...
