...office hours; these profs are really fun, and at least one will probably win a Nobel Prize (our money is on David Liu). The 1b class is more of a mixed bag, taking fewer risks and breaking less ground than LS1a. This class takes a more traditional approach to biology, expanding on the now-defunct BS50 course by focusing on genetics and some peripheral disease-related material. The 1a profs seem more polished than those in 1b, though Daniel Hartl stands out as a truly impressive lecturer. Maryellen Ruvolo and John Wakeley clearly have interesting points to make...
...weeks). Ex-Dean of the Faculty Bill Kirby is teaching a new class this spring and, based on previous guest lecture appearances, Hist A-74, “Contemporary China,” is likely to be a winner. In the end, EAS’s individualized approach overshadows the painful sophomore tutorial—plus, its always nice to secretly understand Kong waiters’ trash talk...

Some students enjoy the haphazard approach, although many complain that there seems to be no core knowledge that is learned in the class. The only other required departmental course, after junior tutorial and senior thesis seminars, is ESPP 78, “Environmental Politics...

Through one of those great ironies that seem to be ubiquitous in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, it is actually easier to get a masters in Statistics then it is to get an undergraduate...
...Thus taken together with this commitment to dialogue, the Pope's lecture in Regensburg seems to be saying: Yes, we must indeed talk, but now is the time for hard questions-not hugs and handshakes. The upside to Benedict's approach is that a brilliant theologian-Pope may help sharpen the terms of the debate. The downside is that he risks not connecting with the masses-or worse, being misinterpreted and manipulated by both his own followers, and those of other faiths. As a worldwide preacher-and no longer just an ivory-tower intellectual or Vatican bureaucrat-Benedict must still...
