Just as the computer chip brought about a computer revolution and the creation of an entire region devoted to its research and promotion--Silicon Valley--novel research in genetics has established Cambridge as a type of genetic playground...
...debilitating, Joshua H. McDermott '98, a special concentrator in brain and cognitive science, recognized symptoms of RSI in March of 1997. He pushed through the end of the semester and now has such a severe case of RSI that he must use a foot mouse and can only type about one sentence before feeling pain. McDermott told me, "If I knew then what I know now, I would have just quit, and taken the rest of the semester off." As it is, he took the fall semester off because the pain was too severe and gave up his hopes...

Confidential and Sunset Boulevard. Among this type of site there were only a few notable quirks. The "Noir City" chat room devotes itself to "bookselling, crime, guns, mystery, sarcasm, dames, and pez." Another, "Hard Boiled," has a direct link to "The Smoker's Homepage." A third impressively thorough noir site doubles as the homepage for the manager...
