...Institute for Advanced Theatre Training at the American Repertory Theatre have been tackling this question, drawing on extensive field research and the themes surrounding war since the ancient Greeks. “Ajax in Iraq,” McLaughlin’s new original play being performed at the Zero Arrow Theatre this weekend, is the culmination of their studies, exploring the post-traumatic stress associated with the hardships accounted in war.

McCain says he would also give a whopping $300 million prize to whichever company designs an electric-car battery so cheap and long-lasting that it would...
...then there’s the collider itself. Statistics about it don’t even sound real. Particles will reach 99.9999991 percent of light speed. Temperatures can drop to 456.25 degrees below zero. We’ll find the “God Particle!” (Not quite as apocalyptic as it sounds...
