...will require a new kind of transparency that lifts the veil of secrecy from over Mass. Hall and Loeb House, where the seven-member Corporation, made up almost exclusively of male millionaires out of touch with Harvard life, meets twice a month behind closed doors to decide on policies for the rest...
...from the drab Auxiliary Territorial Service uniform she donned during World War II to the glamorous black velvet evening gown she wore to The Battle of the River Plate opening in 1956, where she met Monroe.

Perhaps an exhibit will one day feature what the Queen wore to Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles' wedding...
UNIVERSITY OF ARIZONA/ESA/NASA/EPA Saturn's moon Titan has been shrouded in smog for eons. The HUYGENS PROBE last week pierced the veil, parachuting in for a landing. Titan's orange, rubbly terrain is like Mars', though the -178?C temperatures mean the rocks are probably made of ice. Other images showed what could be liquid ethane and methane, resembling a flash-frozen Earth before life emerged. Data still to come may shed light on how all biology came to be. - By Jeffrey Kluger...
Saturn's moon Titan has been socked in by smog for eons. The Huygens space probe last week pierced the veil, parachuting in for a landing. Titan's orange, rubbly terrain calls to mind Mars, though the -290??F temperatures mean the rocks are probably made of ice. Other images revealed what could be rivers and lakes filled with liquid ethane and methane. The chemistry resembles that of a flash-frozen Earth before life emerged. Data still to come may shed light on how all biology came to be. --By Jeffrey Kluger
