Those evenings provide a much-needed palliative when my future becomes too much of a burden, and they might be something we could all use a little more of. If there is a standard path at a diverse place like Harvard, it’s one that begins with competitive college admissions, runs through competitive internships, and ends with a competitive job in finance or consulting that is especially lucrative—and, as many have recently told President Faust, especially unsatisfying...
...important reminder because you forget on the campaign trail sometimes--just how high troop morale remains despite the difficulties. I spend a lot of time talking to families who are trying to work through their mom or dad being gone for the third time, and it creates a huge burden on them at home. But when the troops are in the field, they are energized, and they are working hard, and they believe in the small slice of work that's been given.

One suggestion: granting temporary work permits to some Mexican day laborers and maids, so that they may cross the border for a limited period of time. Already, the blockade is spawning ingenious...
...carried the gene variant lived on average two years longer than noncarriers. "We still can't say exactly why," Weiss says. And though the effect of this gene variant, if confirmed, could help explain a huge number of HIV infections, it still cannot come close to explaining the AIDS burden of Africa. Nearly 70% of all HIV-positive people in the world live in sub-Saharan Africa, and prevalence rates in adults in some African countries top 20%. What's more, the gene variant is most common in West Africa, but HIV-infection rates in that region remain very...
