...Widener Library. I probably could have found what I needed in Lamont, but I try to avoid the "undergraduate" library on account of its boxy brave-new-worldishness. Modernity is no excuse for ugliness, as far as I'm concerned. Check this out: Lamont is only about five years younger than venerable Houghton Library next door...
Similarly, George W. Bush has owned up to a full partying schedule in his younger days. He also says he quit drinking 12 years ago and has been "loyal to my wife." But two weeks ago, a reporter for a New Hampshire TV station asked if he had ever used drugs: "Marijuana? Cocaine?"

...Ballard and two younger partners, engineer Paul Howard and electrochemist Keith Prater, changed course, winning a contract from the Canadian military to research a more exotic form of power. Fuel cells had been around for 150 years and were used in the Gemini space program but were thought to be too expensive for any practical use. As Ballard's team began to make the cells lighter, smaller and thus cheaper, it realized that the technology could eventually be used in vehicles...
...from the a cappella group The Opportunes was in tow to cheer on their talented member, but Ashley showed that she possessed enough presence and talent to hold the stage solo. A sort of Jewel-like Shawn Colvin, Filip demonstrates great control over her instrument and voice. Since she younger than the other two performers, her lyrics lack a certain maturity and dexterity, both which are rescued by her smooth guitar-playing and a voice that creams over the edges of notes. In the space of a bar, her voice can turn from something on which to ride into some...
