...Perhaps the cleanest fusion of technology and artistic intent at the Phaeno - apart from the Zaha Hadid?designed building itself, which is a triumph of experimental construction techniques and design aesthetics - is to be found in the 18 pieces brought by Arthur Ganson from his workshop at MIT in Boston. Ganson creates machines that are exquisitely engineered from low-tech materials to "express a feeling or a thought or a question." A wishbone hauling its own dream machine across the floor may not have a clear meaning, but that takes second place, he says, to "communicating the intensity and patience...
...freshman Aba Omodele-Lucien led the way with an 8-3 victory over Eagles counterparts Garber and Wagner at No. 2, while senior Ashwin Kumar and sophomore Michael Hayes’ irresistible combination of power and flair proved too much for Kreutzer and Sechrist in an 8-4 triumph at No 1.

But in four years' time she earned the nickname "Iron Lady," as a tough, gritty leader who seemed to relish...
...stopped taking bets on the outcome five days before the election. Hearing the rumblings of a landslide, the Prime Minister was striving not just I for an improvement on her 34-seat majority in Parliament but for a colossal improvement. Yet not all Tory supporters favored an earth-moving triumph. In an editorial headlined A TORY VICTORY, YES, A LANDSLIDE, NO, the Sunday Times reminded readers that voting for Alliance candidates in marginal districts could keep a Conservative triumph within bounds.
