...country's north and west shores accounted for more than four-fifths of the two firms' production. That bounty has made this nation of just 4.6 million people rich. Government taxes on the country's oil business--Norway is the world's fifth largest exporter by volume--have helped bloat Norway's national pension fund to around $350 billion. But those good times couldn't last forever. With fields beginning to dry up, oil production has slid to 2.6 million bbl. a day this year, from 3.5 million six years ago, says John Olaisen, Oslo-based energy analyst at Carnegie...

These were quickly filled with Brunello di Montalcino. And so began the rigorous series of tests. A few snapshots: the bar has closed, but G. and Andy are apprehended in the kitchen, searching...
...concentrators—all compromise depth of exploration. Shortening of the tutorials forces departments to unnaturally condense an already rigorous curriculum. Bleeding over into junior year impacts other valuable programs such as study abroad and senior thesis tutorials. And open admission to these tutorials will cause class sizes to bloat, destroying the intimacy and attention that tutorials are meant to provide. None of these are tradeoffs warranted by saddling students with an extra semester to flit about, lost in an unstructured, pre-concentration Harvard curriculum.
