...obliged to rake through centuries and continents for the seeds - pardon the pun - of the world's dietary inequity. The library work is solid - he is currently a researcher at South Africa's University of KwaZulu-Natal, as well as a visiting scholar at the University of California, Berkeley. As you would expect from that résumé, he writes like an academic - but that's not to say the book is bloodless. Patel has a highly developed historical sense of why we eat as we do, and if readers who have enough food understand how that surfeit originated...
Hawking's assertion echoes the 18th century philosophy of Bishop Berkeley, who contended that things are real only because we can perceive them. It's an extra-ordinary and unexpected view from a scientist. It would be a childish fairy tale to believe that even Hawking's mind - in which inspiration comes like exploding stars - can create its own universe to which this ailing professor can escape. The fate of his body will eventually befall his mind, and everything else in this ever-ending universe. But as Hawking's science shows, there is renewal in all these endings. Dying stars...
...Haitians and black Dominicans—all those, at least, who cannot afford the requisite bribes—are deemed as such. Says Roxanna Atholz, an international law lecturer at the University of California-Berkeley, “What the Dominican Republic has done is created a permanent underclass—a category of individuals that, in the eyes of the law, don’t exist, have no right to own property, to an education, to healthcare, the right to vote.” It is “by keeping Haitians in a limbo of illegality...
...puts the Crimson on a two-game winning streak, and the team improved its record to an impressive 6-1. Next up on Harvard’s slate is an interesting road set that features the ECAC Championships in Lewisburg, PA and a California trip where perennial powerhouse UC-Berkeley awaits. The Crimson won’t return to Blodgett Pool until October 13th, but the team hopes that the crowds continue to be as lively as they were in the home opener. “The fans definitely brought us back into the game,” said Livingston...
...depressions and to keep inflation from getting out of hand. The Fed has failed miserably at each of these tasks once--depression prevention in the early 1930s and inflation prevention in the 1970s. Under Greenspan, it took care of both pretty well. Brad DeLong of the University of California, Berkeley, an economist with no particular loyalty to the former maestro, estimates that of 36 significant interest-rate decisions during Greenspan's 18-year tenure, the chairman got 35 right. (The exception? DeLong thinks the Fed should have cut rates in late...
