Other students may already have a computer, but simply need accessories like Ethernet cards and printers. In any case, there are few better places in the country than Boston to shop for high-tech goodies...
...increasingly precious; they begin to see in the state of mind we will have in heaven. "What about heaven?" I said to Harold, who is ninety-four and lives in the VA Hospital in Tucson. He said, "Memory is heaven." The physicist emeritus tottering across the campus of Cal Tech through the hazy sunshine occasionally chuckles to himself. Yet it has happened to many others, and to you, too, Galway--when illness, or unhappiness, or imagining the future wears an empty place inside us, the idea of paradise elsewhere quickly fills...
...technology program at Argonne National Laboratory, who has done extensive work with alternative-fuel vehicles, doesn't think the Rosens have addressed the safety problems inherent in flywheels. A wheel operating at such a high velocity can explode if knocked off-line--say by hitting a pothole--turning high-tech carbon fibers into shrapnel. "In the final analysis, the design needs a lot of work on housing and containment. I don't think he has the ultimate power train. No disrespect intended. This is simply an observation that these guys with very limited funds are trying to do what Detroit...
...Flywheel, Trinity Flywheel and Unique Mobility. That's a badge of honor to Harold and Ben, who are clearly thrilled to be working together. When they were younger, Ben was very much the little brother walking devotedly in the older brother's footsteps: he followed Harold to Cal Tech, and then to Raytheon Corp. in the 1950s, when Ben got his very first job working for his brother, building missiles.

It is, in high-tech parlance, a very fat "pipe"--some 300 times as fat as "twisted pair" copper phone lines. What if, the cable industry breathlessly asks, some of that bandwidth could be diverted to the Internet? How might entertainment and commerce--not to mention the industry's bottom line--be transformed...
