One of the most famous sights in Cambridge--MIT's Stata Center, designed by Frank Gehry--is leaking. MIT is now suing Gehry for negligence. The Stata Center may look amazing on the outside, and it got a shout-out in Doonesbury, but Shelley Murphy at the Globe reports that the inside is a mess of cracks, drainage backups, and mold.

Is the state of television getting to be so poor (please see recent lineup of new reality shows and the cancellation of "Arrested Development") that we need to revert back to the days of Lynda Carter’s "Wonder Woman"? Well, it looks like it as AOL and Warner Brothers announced yesterday a partnership to bring 100 “vintage” shows to the Internet for all your viewing pleasure. Your favorites, like "Growing Pains", "Sisters", and the ever-popular "Welcome Back Kotter", will be airing exclusively on AOL for the price tag of zero dollars. Of course, to get this program, coined In2TV, which will total 300 episodes each month, you will be subjected to four 15-second commercials per show (puh-lease tell us they are “vintage” commercials…those Barbie commercials from ’86 are sweet!) and there will be no videotaping allowed of your favorite Kirk Cameron moment. Don’t expect to be seeing any popular syndicated programs like “Friends” online. Warner Brothers makes too much cash through syndication than to give it away for free. There will be trivia and games though to accompany each episode though.
