...Scientists using the Tevatron accelerator at Fermilab near Chicago are still hoping to publish a discovery before CERN starts analyzing data later this year. Higgs says he is 90% sure that the LHC will find it, but he doesn't have the final word. "With all respect to our theoretician friends, experiments find out the truth," explains Tejinder Virdee, the head of one of the LHC's experiments. "You can make conjectures, but unless you verify the conjectures, they are metaphysics. That's why many of us haven't minded spending our entire working lives building this experiment...
Certainly not Miliband, who spent years in the U.S., first at junior high school in Massachusetts and later at mit. But it's European history that shaped him. The son of Jewish intellectuals who fled the Holocaust - his father was a Marxist theoretician, his mother a political activist - his was a childhood marinated in debate. He emerged, he says, as a "conviction politician," and - like his younger brother Ed, also a member of Brown's Cabinet - a Labour man to his bones. "Politics is about which side of the fence you're on," he says, "and I've always been...

With his most important projects - and Toronto is one of them - he makes what you might call polemical buildings.

But Filonov never stayed with any school except his own, which he called "analytical art." It was in the eulogy to Filonov offered by the poet Alexei Kruchenykh, Futurism's major theoretician, that the exhibition's curators found their title, Witness of the Unseen...
Here was a road map for the rest of T.R.'s life, or at least the part of it that would be focused on foreign affairs. In Roosevelt's future naval policies we see the embodiment of Mahan's larger principles. Moreover, this conjuncture of Mahan the theoretician and Roosevelt the man of action arrived at just the right time in the history of the U.S. Its industries were booming, its commerce thriving and its merchants fighting to gain markets overseas in the face of tough foreign competition. All of that pointed to the need for a strong Navy...
