You kind of get sucked into the realness.” It’s also unique because it’s not very chorus heavy, leaving Marzano, the youngest member of the group, the opportunity to watch his peers perform in the first and fourth acts. “I just sit backstage and I admire these very, very successful opera singers doing what they’ve worked so hard to do,” Marzano said.

And throughout the last two decades, Vraalsen worked with the warring parties, which resulted in the

They were to give themselves a tour. “I thought of it as a dark scary alley with danger around every corner,” said Rebecca Denning ’13, biology major from Bigfork, Mont. Many of them had never been in the area before and had no idea what to expect. “I asked them to ‘Do what you’d do to learn about places,'” Alger said. “It’s wonderful to hear them talk about their experiences.” So, they stopped by

chemistry than they think. Like cooks, chemists choose and measure ingredients, modify recipes, adjust cooking times and temperatures, and test the end results. Constructing and deconstructing food is chemistry. “It is a way to tone down the science and make it accessible.” For instance, anyone who stops by his office is likely to get a noseful. Lytle likes to get his guests to sniff two different molecules built from two isoprene molecules each – pinene and limonene. At the molecular level pinene and

Solomons first started writing the book in 1976. The book is currently published in seven languages, and is comprised of a fact-chocked 1,163 pages. Fryhle doesn’t do the translations, of course, but has had to advise about translating the proper meaning of passages.  It’s

Watson, himself, received a 1 percent cut of every punch card used in

“Adele’s Wish,” which tells the story of Altmann’s mother, Maria, and her efforts to retrieve the family paintings taken during the Holocaust. During his one-hour lecture, Black presented document after document, found in archives, IBM files and, in one case, a rabbi’s closet, that show that IBM’s eager complicity in the Holocaust began in the early 1930s and didn’t end until the final days of the war, when the company deftly buried the entire matter in forgotten archives. If IBM had any squeamishness
