...craziest thing about the suicide bombings were the heads - how the head of the bomber often remained intact after the explosion. It was the result of some weird law that only a physicist could explain: the force of the blast would detach the bomber's head and throw it up and away, too fast for the blast to destroy it. So there it would be, the head, sitting on a pile of bricks or underneath a telephone pole...
...easy to mock Chameides's earnest habits, but his quest does highlight an environmental threat that rarely gets attention. Most Americans have now come to believe that littering on the street is wrong, but as Chameides says, just because you throw something out in a proper trashcan doesn't mean it simply disappears. Though America's landfills are in no danger of filling up any time soon, taking out the trash is increasingly costly, with major cities like New York now having to truck their garbage hundreds of miles to reach an open dumping space. That means energy and carbon...
...misfortune some months back of seeing in the flesh one of his grotesque works (a slaughterhouse on display to the public, really) at the base of Lever House, on the streets of Manhattan.

Thus, Kim's life starts with his birth either in Siberia - where his father, North Korean founder Kim Il Sung, was in exile - or on Mount Paektu, the highest point on the Korean Peninsula. In an early...
...Harvard’s momentum continued to mount through the third quarter, as sophomore safety Collin Zych silenced a Crusader red zone threat, intercepting Randolph’s pass in the end zone for a touchback. “I mean, that’s what Coach stresses, never throw picks in the end zone, never have turnovers in the end zone, and you just can’t do it,” Randolph said.Senior linebacker Eric Schultz quelled another Holy Cross red zone attempt at the Harvard 1-yard line. Finding a hole in the offensive line, Schultz...
