Kirshner, who is chair of the Astronomy Department, has been trying to raise money to purchase a 20 percent share in the twin 6.5-meter Magellan telescopes being built at The Carnegie Foundation's Las Campanas Observatory in Chile...
...energy at the center of Paul Rudnick's new play about the twin evils of censorship and ambition (we're talking art and politics, of course) is its fervent desire to shock.

Ignacio Bermudez Jr. was dumped from his bassinet, pummeled with fists, kicked and possibly hit with a stick, leaving his skull cracked. His alleged assailants? Twin brothers, age 8, and the suspected ringleader, a boy of 6, who were playmates of Ignacio's siblings. "This is as shocking a crime as we have seen," said Richmond police captain Ray Howard...
