...visible flames were extinguished by the Boston Fire Department, and three firefighters were able to make their way into the area where the cars had burned. At 12:47, the fire truck equipped with a cherrypicker lowered its extension ladder, and by 12:49, ten firefighters were seen in the area where the flames had previously been...
...series remind us that food, clothes and furnishings are not just frivolities but deeply personal expressions. The opposite happens with TLC's The Messengers (Sundays, 10 p.m. E.T.; debuts July 23), which, seeking nothing less than "the next great inspirational speaker," takes serious problems and renders them trivial. Ten contestants (among them a pastor, a surfer and an ex-cheerleader) deliver a speech to judges and an audience each episode after going on a "field trip"--which, in the premiere, involves spending the night on L.A.'s streets with the homeless...

Now he was trying to generalize the theory by conceiving of gravity as a curving of the fabric of something he called space-time...
...including Harvard, relies heavily on federal funding for scientific studies and receives the bulk of its federal grants from the DOD, HHS, and NSF. The purview of the subpoenas, which Yale officials described as “administrative” rather than criminal, extends to documents as much as ten years old. Such subpoenas need not be part of a grand jury investigation and can be issued either by an executive agency with sufficient statutory power or by the Department of Justice at an agency’s behest. Yale University President Richard C. Levin issued a statement...
