...Harvard delegation visited a Russian bell foundry last Thursday, as University representatives and Russian officials prepare for the return of the Lowell House bells to Moscow’s Danilovsky Monastery. The trip, if succesful, could mark the end of years of negotiations over the return of the Lowell bells—some of which date back to the 17th century—that have remained at Harvard for nearly 80 years.

Between 1990 and 2004, U.S. health authorities traced 168 disease outbreaks to dairy products; nearly a third were linked to unpasteurized items, according to the nonprofit Center for Science in the Public Interest.

...evaluating Corbitt. Wal-Mart is investigating consumer concerns, and an employee plans to visit the region to study the issue. Environmentalists say mulch made from pine straw or pine bark can be an effective alternative. "Cutting down cypress forests to make mulch is like melting down the Liberty Bell to make paper clips," says Dan Favre, campaign organizer for the Gulf Restoration Network.
