Harvard herself would never admit it, of course. For our watchdogs of tolerance, pluralism, diversity and the other shibboleths of contemporary academia, we have entered the "holiday season," when people from various "faith traditions" take a break from their studies to enjoy "winter break," as the official campus calendar calls...
...small but crucial matters, like whether old chads build up behind ballots and sometimes prevent a hole from being fully punched. Gore won a victory on that point, but Bush lawyer Phil Beck expertly cross-examined the Gore team's statistician, Yale professor Nicolas Hengartner. The professor had to admit that he had in fact never inspected a certain ballot that he claimed to have examined in his affidavit.

But it should be grasped that one is not dealing with New York City 1900-2000, and still less with Paris...
...continue to learn - but their peers in other countries are learning at a higher rate." Rita Colwell, director of the National Science Foundation, maintains the results simply indicate a need to look deeper for solutions to the international math and science gap. According to the Times, however, Colwell does admit she finds the recent study "a little depressing...
