Chelius minimizes the effects travel may have on the Crimson's endurance, a 5 a.m. departure yesterday morning notwithstanding. "All day Friday was spent relaxing and watching the William and MaryGeorge Mason game, and besides, a one-hour plane ride is always better than a two-hour bus ride," she said...
...everyone in magazineland seems to agree on what the good stories are: consumer rip-offs, miscarriages of justice, teary tales of people victimized by bad doctors or trampled on by insensitive government agencies. Like the one-hour dramas they have replaced on the prime-time schedule, the magazines serve up morality tales of black hats vs. white hats, with the reporter as avenging U.S. marshal. Instead of a six-gun, his or her weapons are a hidden camera (for the inevitable undercover expose) and a hand-held mike, thrust at reluctant witnesses before they slam the car door...
...mathematicians who gathered in a Cambridge University lecture room last Monday had no idea that they were about to witness history. They had come to hear Andrew Wiles, an English colleague based at Princeton University, give three one-hour lectures on "Modular Forms, Elliptic Curves and Galois Representations," an abstract topic even by the rarefied standards of higher math. By the end of the first hour, though, they knew something was up. Recalls Nigel Boston, a visiting mathematician at Cambridge's Isaac Newton Institute: "We realized where he could be heading. People were giving each other wide-eyed looks...
That, perhaps, explains the desperation of the Chinese illegals who sweat it out in restaurants, garment factories and dry-cleaning establishments for as little as $2 an hour. "The pay is incredibly low and the hours are incredibly long," says JoAnn Lum, program director for the Chinese Staff & Workers' Association in New York City. She tells of one garment-district employee who worked 36 hours straight, then was docked for taking a one-hour nap. Nonpayment of wages is also rampant. According to Lum, one group of 35 workers is owed $120,000 in back pay by their employers. "They...
These are the depressing months. Heavy thoughts burden our minds. Think of what you've done during the off-season. I started paying close attention to Yeltsin in Russia and Clinton's budget proposal. I sat through a one-hour special with Peter Jennings in which he told me and millions others that someone had better invade Serbia or you can start the countdown towards World War III. Then I spent two hours with my roommate discussing whether we would fight if drafted...
