...very struck by the fact that there was substantially more financial aid available to you if you wanted to come to Harvard to be an investment banker or a lawyer than if you wanted to be a scientist or a teacher,” Summers said...

Guillen’s shameless boosterism of so frightening a story over the past few weeks has embarrassed both journalists and scientists.

But in June a small, unmanned pod named Beagle 2 (after Charles Darwin's famous ship) has a chance to change all that. Masterminded by Professor Colin Pillinger, an eccentric and exuberant planetary scientist at Britain's remote learning Open University, the Beagle is on track to beat the mighty NASA program, which is set to send its next Mars probe at about the same time. If successful, Beagle will be one of the most astonishing recent developments in the space race. With...
