...Change for a Fiver I was interested in your account of the redesign of the $5 bill [Oct. 8]. But with all the good ideas that went into the makeover, nothing was done to aid the blind. Many countries print different-size notes or have a bit of Braille on each so that the blind can truly know what they are using.

Tufts should be applauded for its ingenuity and leadership, and we hope Harvard will follow suit. Non-profits are a valuable asset to society, yet a growing discrepancy between starting...
...bring a new diversity to campus. The current class members come from countries across the Middle East, but although there are no Westerners now, the school hopes to eventually attract students from the U.S. - or even Israel - and about one-third of the student body will receive financial aid. This is a far cry from most élite high schools in Jordan today, which are more like an Arab Beverly Hills 90210 - wealthy kids leading insular lives...
