...Laptop Per Child (OLPC), who believes it lies in a tiny green and white computer. Nicholas P. Negroponte, who spoke to a captive audience in the Science Center last night, explained his idea: using technology to revolutionize education in the developing world.

Agriculture was not established in the Levant when the Natufians lived there, but they still erected rudimentary structures to inhabit. Traces in the soil of the remains of mice and sparrows - animals that exist most commonly in places of human settlement - point to a significant...
