...scene of the dorms’ communal showers have been co-opted by some first-years looking to get freaky. Couples have decided it’s OK to walk into a bathroom in G-entry, pick a shower stall, and make screachy, sweet love beneath an incessant stream of hot water. Let this be clear...
...stream of blood and pink slips - and the threat it poses to consumer confidence and spending - finally drying up? The overall totals are still scary - 1.12 million layoff announcements is still 83 percent more than at this time last year, and 3.3 million people filing for continued unemployment claims is the most since this time in 1992, when there was a recession on. And they?re still rising - the four-week rolling claims average edged up to 398,000 this week from 394,500, and the unemployment number for August, due out Friday, is expected to tick up again...
...Beijing in search of diplomatic progress, but politically paralyzed to take the actions against the Islamists and other militants that such progress would require. Unlike Arafat, many of those militants appear to have a clear strategy - the one perfected by Hezbollah in Lebanon, of inflicting a slow but steady stream of casualties on the Israelis through guerrilla warfare and terror strikes in the hope of turning Israeli public opinion against the occupation. And today that strategy, rather than Arafat's diplomacy, tends to hold sway on the Palestinian street...
...assignment in Folkman's lab was to find a way to release gradually a stream of large organic molecules into the tissue of a laboratory animal. Researchers had already tried encasing large molecules like the one Langer was testing in polymers (long-chain molecules, such as silicone, that are semipermeable to certain types of molecules). Unfortunately, this particular molecule--like most of the new drugs being created in biotech labs--was much too large to fit through the tiny holes in any of the available polymers. The problem, polymer experts told Langer, was unsolvable...
...assistant professor at Harvard in the late 1950s, he proposed the radical notion that ant societies are bound together by an elaborate system of chemical signals. He went on to prove the existence of what are now called pheromones with an elegant experiment. Pied Piper-like, he lured a stream of worker ants along a chemical trail laid down with pheromones extracted from a gland in the abdomen of a fire...
