...Babich. “It looked like he got a little tired at the end, but I thought he did pretty well.”Walsh brought in reliever Jonah Klees to stop the bleeding, but the rookie was unable to contain the Lions. With runners on second and third, Klees intentionally walked the bases loaded before yielding a three-run double. The Lions added an additional run in the frame and headed into final inning up 8-3.“We have flashes of good stuff, and then we go and give up five-run innings...
...holes with a -4 average. Harvard’s second-place finisher, Shuman, shot 76 on the day—just a stroke behind UC Riverside’s Mark Alvarez at 75. And while Christensen matched Highlander Scott Clayton at 78 for each team’s respective third-place individual, Wertzell finished at 79, just a stroke behind UCR’s Tom Lo. With the Crimson’s second and fourth spots finishing a stroke behind the Highlander’s second and fourth spots, Harvard just missed out on a dual-match...

...first hardcore 3-D movie, The Starlets, came out in 1977. (I leave the stereoptical effects of this picture to the reader's imagination.) The 1983 Jaws 3-D, utilizing a single-camera process called Arrivision, was an example of several horror series whose third episode was in 3-D (Friday the 13rd Part 3, Amityville 3-D). That 1990 TIME story was heralding a liquid-crystal technology called IMAX Solido. Since then, IMAX had become a reliable adjunct to the movie-theater business, both in its own documentaries and in special versions of movies like The Polar Express...
...nuclear industry, which was already canceling new reactors all over the country before TMI, and has not ordered one since. That's a shame, because nuclear reactors produce no carbon emissions. If we got 80% of our electricity from nukes today, as France does, we'd emit nearly a third less carbon. It would be the greenhouse-gas equivalent of taking all our cars off the road. So it would be nice if we could turn back the clock...
