...encounter; and as they pile up we decide C- (Harvard being Harvard, we do not give D's. Consider C- a failure.). Why? Not because they are a sign the student does not know the material, or hasn't thought creatively, or any of that folly. They simply make tedious reading. "Locke is a transitional figure." "The whole thing boils down to human rights." Now I ask you, I have 92 bluebooks to read this week, and all I ask, really, is that you keep me awake. Is that so much...
Dartmouth attacker Tim Wennrich scored to open the final frame, but Harvard rolled off four straight goals to make the score 14-7. Kramer's shot past Banks on the man-up situation was the highlight of the rally, which put the game out of reach...
Federal prosecutors insist they are merely using the law to seize dirty money from attorneys who ought to know better. But critics believe they see darker tactics at work. The feds "usually won't invoke forfeiture if you make a plea bargain," observes Miami lawyer Joel Hirschhorn. "But the minute you plead not guilty, they threaten you with going after the fee." Noriega's lawyers argue that the freezing of his assets may be part of just such a plea- bargaining ploy. They say it is preposterous for prosecutors to claim that Noriega's money came only from drugs...
Unlike most other kinds of cells, the neurons that make up the adult central nervous system do not divide and multiply. Once they die, they cannot be replaced -- a fact that makes brain and spinal damage so devastating. But, in an unprecedented experiment, scientists at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine chanced upon a kind of human brain cell that could be nourished and cultivated. The researchers have kept a laboratory culture of the neurons alive -- and multiplying -- for nearly two years. The new technique, reported last week in Science, should make it easier for scientists to study...
Mathematician Thomas Donaldson, 46, of Sunnyvale, Calif., believes that science will eventually make immortality possible, and he wants in on it. Last week he asked a state court judge to permit a seven-person team to freeze him, then sever his frozen head and store it. Someday, he figures, science will provide a cure for the cancer that afflicts him. Then, if doctors can master the art of brain transplantation, Donaldson's noggin could be thawed out and his brain implanted in another body. At $35,000, freezing a head is a good deal cheaper than...
