Anyone wanting to catch a performance of Chicago could head for the Adelphi Theatre in London's West End to watch bit-part TV actors gyrate their way through a slick, big-budget production. Or they could travel 40 minutes out of the city to Ashford, for a performance that's a little more intimate and a lot more surreal. Both shows aim for razzle-dazzle: bright lights, flashy costumes, sassy song-and-dance numbers. But only one of them has mandatory fingerprinting at the door, beefy guards keeping watch by the wings and five-centimeter-thick bars...

...pretends manned space travel isn't frightfully expensive. But the ISS and shuttles have taken profligacy to places it never went before.

Currently, the outpost is still incomplete, it has returned not a lick of real science and is projected to cost up to $100 billion. The shuttles, which were advertised as a cheap, fast, reliable way to get to and from near-Earth orbit, cost $400 million every...
...contributes to the smaller number of political figures who visit their campuses, according to McLaughlin. But other universities are beginning to establish similar organizations, she added. “Several institutes are modeling what they do after what we do,” McLaughlin said. The IOP pays for travel and hotel expenses for visiting officials but does not pay them to speak, according to McLaughlin. “We don’t do any lobbying,” she said. “Our only goal in bringing these officials is to get them to interact with students...
