...offending the American spirit of equal opportunity. Amanda L. Burnham '01, a frequent patron of Cafe Pamplona (and a Crimson executive too), became privy to this bias first-hand while looking for a job last spring. Burnham attempted to apply for the serving position advertised in the cafe's window. Though she did not talk with the owner herself, the waiter that Burnham spoke with told her that she shouldn't even bother applying...

...after the Mars Polar Lander was supposed to have touched down and started sending back signals from the Red Planet's south pole, and still there is no word. The possibilities: The craft could have gone into a protective sleep mode after impact, and has so far missed its window of opportunity for transmission back to Earth. It's also conceivable that the probe landed on its side, making a clear transmission path even more difficult. The possibility that NASA doesn't want to think about yet is that the craft didn't survive the landing, perhaps burning...
...luxurious tropical visions at the Mirage, the canals (with gondola rides!) and warm cannolis at The Venetian, the Arthurian legend at Excalibur, the cobblestone streets surrounding Lake Como at the $1.3 billion Bellagio, etc. etc. Where else in the world can you wake up and look out one window and see the Eiffel Tower (a half-size recreation stands over the Paris hotel); or look out another and see Egyptian pyramids at the Luxor or the Chrysler and Empire State Building at New York, New York?

...million Martian landers didn't get lost in space. All indications were that the Mars Polar Lander enjoyed a safe touchdown at right around its scheduled landing time, 3:01 p.m. EST. But NASA failed to receive a signal from the craft during the first 20-minute communications window, beginning around 3:40 p.m. The Lander is the partner craft to the Mars Climate Observer, which was famously lost near Mars after scientists had a mixup between the U.S. and metric measuring systems. This time, a NASA spokesman called the landing "flawless...
