Add that Harvard education and a higher SAT score—and now you’ve hit the jackpot, but not for the reasons you’d expect. Some infertile couples are willing to pay you up to $50,000 for those genes...
Even if we did agree that the council should fund nearly every dollar of every student group grant and host far more of its own projects, we doubt that the current council structure would allow them to do so efficiently.

By the mid-1980s, some of his colleagues had decided that the answer to Einstein's failed dream was to treat the building blocks of matter--quarks, photons, electrons and such--as minuscule, vibrating strings of energy rather than as particles. But superstring theory was considered no more than an esoteric and eccentric subspecialty until Witten (by this time a full professor...
