Anna (Sarah Leary) and Curt (Devon Scalisi) of the Vagabond Theatre Company John Minigan's play, Breaking the Shakespeare Code , is in production in Boston! Mr. Minigan reports that: " Breaking the Shakespeare Code , a full-length play, is opening on March 6 at the (tiny) Factory Theatre in Boston's South End, produced by Vagabond Theatre Group.

His second article, " Physics Back In Time ," is published in the March 2014 issue of The Physics Teacher . He surveyed Time's science section of yore, compared it to Time's science coverage today, and gave us glimpses into the lives of famous physicists, including a "nervous and querulous" aging Albert Einstein.  Thank you, Dr. Korsunky, for loving this material and making something new out of it.
