...future test in P Tunnel will send a blast of radiation through a vacuum- tight steel casing to simulate a nuclear explosion 300 miles deep in space. Parts of the tunnel will collapse, and tons of irradiated rock will hurtle through the pipe, but the explosion should remain contained, thanks to seven giant doors. The last barrier, a mile distant, is a gas-sealed door made to withstand temperatures of 500 degrees F and pressures...
...first period, compared to just one for Harvard. With the extra possession time, the Crimson reeled off 26 shots in the first frame alone, more than double the nine attempts mustered by Brown (4-10, 1-5 Ivy League). Despite the statistical edge, Bears goalkeeper Melissa King maintained a tight lid on the goal, holding the Crimson to only nine first-half goals on its 26 attempts. King also wrangled in 12 saves on her way to 21 for the game. The Harvard offense maintained its composure as its first three shots were all saved by King. Freshman Kaitlin Martin...
...come for instruction as well as support from others trying to raise tearaway kids. This complements a nationwide program offering families of 2- to 16-year-olds with learning difficulties multidisciplinary aid; from tutoring to intervention in the home to observe and possibly modify family behavior.

Navy crossed in 6:31.7, and Harvard trailed in 6:32.3—just 0.6 seconds and a late flurry separating the Crimson from yet another dual win.—Staff writer Aidan E.

...probably the most ponderous and troublesome item in the modern woman’s closet. In theory, they seem chic, wearable and utterly surmountable. In actuality, they make one’s thighs look like they are hotbeds of elephantiasis. For the uninitiated, skinny jeans are pants that are tight all the way to the bottom. Sort of like leggings in denim form, in the sense that they are worn by hipsters and wildly uncomfortable. Unfortunately, those dastardly celebrities with their liposuction and voluntary colonoscopies have radically altered our conception of the ugly skinny jean. On Sienna Miller or Lindsay...
