...WAVE OF DOOM? Earlier this month, a scientist at University College, London, raised concerns that part of the Cumbre Vieja volcano on one of the Canary Islands could fall into the ocean, creating a giant wave that would annihilate large swaths of the U.S. Eastern Seaboard. "If I was living in Miami or New York and I heard that the Cumbre Vieja was erupting, I would keep a very close eye on the news," said Dr. Simon...
...striking Verizon workforce, thousands of requests usually filled by the Bell Atlantic-GTE offshoot went unanswered, even as company officials continued their talks with about 85,000 deeply disgruntled employees. The workers, who tend to the telephone needs of roughly 25 million Verizon customers, primarily along the eastern seaboard, are up in arms over the company's refusal to allow wireless employees to unionize.

Sparked by a report in this month's issue of the journal Geology that researchers have discovered cracks in the continental shelf off Virginia, residents have been alarmed by visions of 20-foot waves heading toward North Carolina, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

As any undergraduate knows, a lecture, seminar or section which is billed to begin at three o'clock really kicks off at three-oh-seven. TFs and professors ignorant of the seven-minute phenomenon (more people who insist on living within their own time zones) succeed only in speaking to empty seats and causing embarrassment to those students who are actually in sync with the rhythms of their school. And because most Harvard students seem to be naturally late, the rule extends...
