Skies will clear overnight as high pressure settles over the region on Wednesday, with mild temperatures and plenty of sunshine. Enjoy the pleasant weather tomorrow, as the end of the week will be unsettled by the approach of Hurricane Isabel. Although Isabel has weakened somewhat in the past 48 hours, the storm is still extremely powerful, with sustained winds near 125 mph as of Monday afternoon. The hurricane is expected to accelerate to the northwest. Because
Isabel is expected to approach the coast at a sharp angle, a small deviation from 0 30 N the forecast track could greatly shift the location of landfall, so that much of the coastline from South Carolina to Rhode Island is threatened. Although the ulti- mate location of landfall is uncertain, there is good agreement among models about the path of the storm. The majority of forecasts predict that Isabel will be steered by a large trough over the east coast to make landfall over the mid- Atlantic states, tracking over the outer banks of North Carolina on Thursday, then travelling over eastern Virginia and Maryland up into Pennsylvania. Although hurricanes weaken quickly after making landfall, they can still cause considerable damage inland with flooding, strong winds, and sometime~ torna- dos. Local effects in the Boston area will include squally weather on Friday, with gusty winds and rain showers.

Maybe that's because the speakers who participated were among the most open- minded in their fields, including Lander, whose picture is next to the word "interdis- ciplinary" in the MIT dictionary; B. Alan Wallace, a Buddhist scholar, who 1 found the most entertaining of the lot; and between them the ever-smiling Dalai Lama, • who has struck many scientists and reli- gious figures with both his inquisitive open- mindedness and his strong devotion to the faith he leads. o I started to wonder if I'd come to the only rigged table in the casino, where the house will always win. There was too much love in the room, I thought. Way too much. Everyone was far too welcoming to sugge tions, to po sible directions of research, to offers of future collaboration. Plenty of progress has already been made between these collaborators to this point, though I grant it was in advance of the symposium. In addition, I suspect that very few people in the audience needed much convincing about a col- laboration of Buddhism and science. Oddly, each of the four sessions seemed both repetitive and too short. It seemed there were a wealth of arguments that could have been brought up on both sides and debated, but instead they were left unspoken. One reason for argument is clear; from one point of view, the scientists seemed to have the upper hand. Most of the discussion took place from a cientific point of view, which is not surprising considering the venue. Experi- mentation, data preparation, and objectifica- tion of subjective data were all common themes. In this way the Buddhists were very accommodating, though as Harvard Professor Jerome Kagan pointed out, it' very difficult, if not impossible to describe any kind of spiri- tual experience in the crude language of words. The events thi weekend were an impor- tant beginning. If any open-minded scientists and Christian scholars want to start a similar debate over these same issues on the stage of Kresge, I'll be there in the front row.
