Back in the 1990s, Jessica Stern, a senior official on President Bill Clinton's National Security Council, worried that a madman would get hold of a nuclear weapon from the former Soviet Union and detonate it in an American city.The worry was so great that Hollywood made a movie about it, 1997's feature "The Peacemaker," starring Nicole Kidman, whose character is based on her, and George Clooney.Stern, a lecturer at Harvard and one of the country's foremost terrorism experts, is still worried about a madman killing hundreds of thousands with a weapon of mass destruction.
The Engineering Quadrangle opened in 1962, and ever since B.S.E. students have had to schedule their meals around problem sessions and labs because the E-Quad has no cafeteria of its own and is a substantial trek from on-campus eateries.While that may change in the not-too-distant future with the planned E-Quad cafe, engineering undergraduates say that food and engineering should have been together from the start."It's the farthest place on campus without food," said Matt Wolf '05, an ORFE student, while working on a problem set in room E-224.The Carl Icahn Genomics Laboratory, completed in June, features a cafe in its main atrium.

Hidden in the Carl Icahn Laboratory in the midst of thoughts of double helixes and molecules, the Genomics Cafe offers an opportunity for both a quick lunch and scientific collaboration.The cafe, which opened in June, was created as a part of the University's recent initiative to unite the various sciences at Princeton.While the Icahn Lab was the University's primary way of creating this unity, the cafe was added to foster communication and "get people out socializing," said Faith Bahadurian, an administrative assistant in the Carl Icahn Laboratory, as well as to achieve a "multidisciplinary focus in the sciences."Prospect House ? which provides the central dining facilities for Princeton faculty ? caters the cafe and offers an assortment of breakfast sandwiches, breads, pastries, snacks, fruit, sandwiches, salads, soups, chili and beverages.In addition to these items, the cafe serves the daily hot entree, featured sandwich, wrapper and gourmet salad that are offered in the Prospect House.This variety is what Shelley Winslow, assistant professor of molecular biology, enjoys most about the Genomics Cafe."Where Frist doesn't change its menu," Winslow said, "[the Genomics Cafe] changes all the time."However, not all customers believe the cafe offers a better food selection than Frist.Daniel Unger, a research associate in the Schultz Building, said he didn't think the "the food here is [any] better or worse than Frist."Rather, it is the cafe's convenience and pleasant layout that brings him here for his daily cup of coffee, Unger said.A majority of the patrons share this appreciation for the cafe's appearance and location.Stephanie Chen '05 said she used the cafe as a place to have a quick cup of coffee and review her notes before going to her class in the building.Similarly, Noriko Ohta, a research associate, found the Genomics Cafe to be a "convenient, comfortable, and quiet place" to sit down, have a sandwich, and work.For the majority of the time that the cafe is open ?

International dialogue can prevent violence in social and political clashes around the world, leading French sociologist Michel Wieviorka argued yesterday.At the core of Wieviorka's talk, "From Conflict to Violence," is the contrast between the chaos of violence and the stability of what he called "conflictual relationships." If those relationships ? whether embedded in political parties, unions or social movements ? allow for the possibility of change, then violence can be kept at bay, Wieviorka said.The hour-long talk was sponsored by the Institute for the Transregional Study of the Contemporary Middle East, North Africa and Central Asia.
