...convenience that keycard access provides to first-years is another, albeit less important, reason to provide them with this privilege. First-years will no longer have to endure long waits outside House entrances trying to visit friends, go to meetings or attend parties. Wider keycard access will also remove the burden for upperclass students who have to descend to their Houses’ outer doors to let in their friends. Making Houses accessible to first-years will make all lives easier and remove the unnecessary barrier between first-years and their upperclass peers...
...There has been Iraqi terrorism in the Philippines in the past, albeit not by diplomats. During the last Gulf War, two Iraqis tried to blow up the Thomas Jefferson Cultural Center?a U.S. government facility?in Manila. One was killed in the bungled attempt, but the survivor eluded capture and returned to Baghdad, where he received a hero's welcome...

The top of the aquatic food chain is occupied by single-cell protozoa that feed on bacteria...
Mind and body, psychologists and neurologists now agree, aren't that different. The brain is just another organ, albeit more intricate than the rest. The thoughts and emotions that seem to color our reality are the result of complex electrochemical interactions within and between nerve cells. The disembodied voices of schizophrenia and the feelings of worthlessness and self-hatred that accompany depression, although they seem to be based on reality, are no more than distortions in brain electrochemistry. Researchers are learning how these distortions arise, how to lessen their severity and, in some cases, how to correct them...
