...authorizing every citizen to keep arms for private purposes. The enemies of the U.S. have progressed to methods and weapons against which a gun-bearing militia would be powerless. Opponents of gun control have the right to argue their case, but reliance on an anachronistic provision does not appear to be a sound argument. Sundara Venkatesan, Mumbai...
While Tulane dismisses Marrogi's suspicions as far-fetched, documents examined by TIME as well as interviews with witnesses who have testified to the IRS illustrate financial machinations that appear to have Gerber at their center and, at the very least, paint a portrait of a prestigious university shoddily run.

The vice chancellor for finance, Ray Newman, contends that doctors are due compensation for work at Charity Hospital (which produces revenues for the university of $20 million to $30 million in payments), even as general counsel John...
...While the game's top stars promote everything from shoes to banks and are mobbed whenever they appear in public, the passion for the game is as evident at the grass roots where you still see poor kids with improvised equipment playing for hours on end in the dusty streets and city alleyways of Pakistan and India.

...Harvard women’s swimming and diving team had three representatives at the NCAA Championships in Minneapolis, Minn. this weekend. Junior diver Samantha Papadakis and senior swimmer Noelle Bassi both repeated their 2006 appearances in the meet, but it was newcomer Alexandra Clarke that impressed the most.

Although she was out of scoring range, she still managed to reset her school record in the 1000-yard with...
...yoga is catching on in Fardis, a small town in the foothills of Mount Hermon, where the Indians began their program with about 20 Lebanese schoolchildren. The kids, aged 5 to 13, appear to enjoy the opportunity to roll around the floor before class, and a flexible few look like yoga prodigies. School teachers say the yoga class leaves their charges calmer and more attentive throughout the day, and the Indians hope this soothing effect will be contagious. "If you are at peace with yourself, you can be at peace with your neighbors," says Lieutenant Colonel Karan Singh, infantry officer...
