...buried in a pauper's grave, he would probably be spinning in it. But with so little still understood about the psychological and physiological effects of music, researchers from the University of Florence are now studying Cagnozzi's claims. Says Don Campbell, the Mozart effect author: "Mozart has universal appeal. The discussion needs to continue. We are just beginning to ask the right questions." The swirling controversy seems sure to continue - and Campbell will carry on selling his CDs. Even if his claims about Mozart's music making us smarter are bogus, he's helping to introduce...

...menu variety, including more seafood and vegetarian entrees, according to the biannual survey conducted by Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS). The 3,230 students—almost half the College—who responded to the survey gave HUDS its highest ratings ever in eight categories ranging from visual appeal of food to cleanliness of facilities. Overall satisfaction averaged 3.89 out of 5, and total turnout was the second highest ever. “The high number of students that expressed their opinions reveals that students are very active participants in the dining hall experience,” said Paul...

Meanwhile, George W. Bush's appeal is at a low ebb with America's neighbors. Last fall the U.S. President met violent street protests at the Summit of the Americas in Argentina, where his hemispheric free-trade proposal was buried--and where Argentine President Nstor Kirchner, another leftist, heads a growing revolt against the U.S.-backed debt policies of the International Monetary Fund. For much of the 1990s, governments from Mexico City to Buenos Aires embraced the free-market reforms known as the Washington Consensus. But that is no longer true. In 1998 the richest 10% of Latin America...

...appeal backfired by reopening dissent against the Washington campaign itself. Andrew Young warned that the whole plan might be moot for the year, anyway, as the tangled logistics could well push the start back into June, when the summer recess of Congress would deprive them of "Pharaoh" rulers to plague. Young proposed to make constructive use of delay, and questioned the enormous effort to assemble and maintain a novel protest army of polyglot poor people in Washington. He doubted King's white attorney and closest confidant Stanley Levison's analogy with the Bonus Marchers of 1932-34, whose suffering...

...Nour?s troubles fit a longstanding pattern of government intimidation against democratic alternatives that might appeal to many Egyptians fed up with autocracy as well as to Western governments that have otherwise long done business with Mubarak?s regime. In 2000, veteran Egyptian democracy activist Saad Eddin Ibrahim was jailed on charges of accepting and misusing funds from foreign sources to support his research and monitoring work. Like Ibrahim, whose conviction was later overturned-after some pressuring from the U.S.-Nour was vilified in Egypt?s influential state-run media. Again, the U.S. is demanding that Nour be released...
