...external organization.”Kroll, who says he has plans to pursue a Ph.D. in computer science at Princeton next year studying the intersection of security and technology policy, says that any contract between FAS IT and Mail2World would have to ensure that Mail2World does not turn over student data in the case of a legal investigation or a subpoena. But even then, he cautions that there is a risk that Mail2World may not honor the contract.David J. Malan ’99, a lecturer widely known on campus for teaching Computer Science 50: “Introduction...

Early on in the first act, two characters discuss quarks, elementary particles born without mass; just like Adam and Eve, one says, “born without...

Those who are spared this fate are left to cope with a habitat that is shrinking daily, as agribusiness firms continue their relentless drive to turn Kalimantan's forests into palm-oil plantations. "I cannot convey the horror of it," says Canadian primatologist Birute Galdikas, a protégé of the late naturalist Louis Leakey and the world's leading authority on orangutans...
