...question remains the future of Sonia Gandhi: Her reluctant entry into politics is credited with saving Congress from being totally routed at the polls, and although she has thus far refused to be prime minister, her undisputed popular appeal may prove too tempting for Congress?s jaded leaders to bypass. Besides, Rajiv?s widow may have a natural flair for India?s unstable coalition politics -- after all, she hails from Italy, which has had 55 governments since...
...inherent in the argument is the most staggering point. The "buy-a-ballot" revision would attract these piddling parties and candidates that it is purported to prevent. If anyone with enough money to pay the $330 can join the election race, who will take it seriously?

...science courses are in many ways more rigorous than the Core courses they currently bypass. This is particularly true in Physics C, which makes use of singlevariable calculus, in contrast to most Science A courses which cannot assume as high a level of mathematical preparation. Even in chemistry and biology, lab and field experience in high school AP science courses is almost universally more substantial than in Harvard's science Cores...

In fact, he underwent a sophisticated new heart scan called a C.T.-angiography, a painless, noninvasive test that is less risky than a conventional angiogram and that can be performed only with a scanner created by Imatron, a San Francisco-based company. Radiologists at the Moscow Cardiology Center had just begun learning to use the machine when Imatron began getting E-mails from them: they wanted to use the scanner--which can tell if a bypass graft has closed up--on Yeltsin. Imatron...
