...says the towering, outgoing Immelt. He knows how to do a lot of jobs, having spent almost 20 years at GE. Most recently he ran its medical-systems business. "It's not like I have to go up on the mountain for 40 days and come down with a bunch of stone tablets," Immelt says...
...University last month, Bruce Withrow, 52, remembered how he and his classmates were greeted at another North Carolina university 33 years earlier, when baby boomers were swelling enrollments. "We've got too many of you here," an administrator told them. "And we're going to get rid of a bunch of you." That's a far cry from the message that Rich and other incoming students get at Appalachian. "All of you have the ability to do well here," Joe Watts, an associate vice chancellor, assured a group of freshmen. "You'll have problems--but we'll help...
...enjoyed your excellent article. These are the types of people who should be making decisions on stem-cell research and other scientific matters, not the clergy or a bunch of "Bush leaguers."

Around 2 a.m. one recent night, a fight breaks out between three amejo and an American woman. A slap fest ensues before massive security guards in yellow T shirts toss the Japanese women out. The fight, of course, is over men. American men are thought to be kinder, more expressive and more romantic than Japanese men. "Really, I can't remember the last time I went out with a Japanese guy," says Yoko Taniguchi, 30, an accountant with newly braided cornrows...
