...dismay is tempered by excitement over a new generation of instrument makers who, utilizing research by Nagyvary and others, are producing violins, cellos and violas almost indistinguishable in quality from a Stradivarius. Lin himself often plays on a violin made by a Brooklyn-based luthier, Sam Zygmuntowicz. Idaho-based cello maker Christopher Dungey has made instruments for the world's top cellists. Lin says, "We don't know whether the modern instruments we're using will be, after 100 years of vigorous playing, equal to Stradivarius. They already sound pretty darn good right...
...alternative—letting funds earmarked for construction sit in Harvard’s endowment, gaining very little interest—stalls the construction process without any noticeable academic or monetary gain.

With the added space and higher-quality facilities promised there, Harvard will be able to expand its research capacities, and in so doing draw in money for the university. These facilities will also provide higher-quality education for Harvard’s students—students who will one day become alumni and potentially give back to their alma mater. The better Harvard can prepare these scientific minds for professional careers, the more successful Harvard alumni will be, allowing them to regenerate...

In 2005 Robert Webster, an influenza expert at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., suggested that China may have been using substandard vaccines that stopped symptoms of bird flu in poultry but allowed the virus to continue to spread. Recently, Guangzhou-based expert Zhong Nanshan also said there is a danger that China's widespread vaccinations could conceal the virus...
