...year-old former Hartford, Conn. police officer, joined Harvard in June after a six-year stint (including one year as director of security) with the department of public safety at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. A seven-member committee of administrators, professors, the acting police chief and a student at the Law School chose Chafin from a pool of 200 applicants one year after the position was vacated. Joe B. Wvatt, vice president for administration and a member of the search committee, says the committee selected Chafin because of his blend of urban and university police experience, each...
...Barthold, a fourth-year graduate student in the Economics Department who voted with the committee to switch textbooks, said, "People have looked at it (the Lipsey and Steiner textbook) over the past few years and seen that it was getting better, so it is no big shock...
...increases from $16,000 to $25,000 the maximum family income level for which the Basic Educational Opportunity Grant (BEOG) would be available, and boosts the maximum grant at each income level.

But Hawking did not stop there. Following up the work of John Wheeler's student, Jacob Bekenstein, he pointed out that there are important mathematical analogies between the bizarre otherworld of black holes and the familiar physical rules of thermodynamics, notably the idea of entropy-which says, in effect, that the universe is running down like an unwinding clock...
