...Nor’easter brought over six inches of snow to New England this past weekend, closing several east coast airports and causing over three hundred and thirty Massachusetts schools to cancel. Nevertheless, on Monday morning, Harvard students trekked through the snow to class. Blizzards may have granted Harvard students a chance to sled on dining hall trays or to construct giant snow phalluses, but hardly ever will a snowstorm relieve undergraduates from classes. The official FAS “inclement weather” policy states that since most of Harvard’s student body and faculty live...
...raised $200 million, Ethiopia alone paid $500 million in annual debt service to the world's lending institutions. After contacting Drummond, Bono signed on as a spokesman for Jubilee 2000, a church-based campaign born in England that asked governments to use the millennium as an occasion to cancel Third World debt. Bono, who spends most of his nontouring time in Dublin with Hewson and their four children, started flying to Washington for weekends at the World Bank with his friend Bobby Shriver, a son of Eunice and Sargent Shriver.

"His mission is misguided," says Kim Jeffery, CEO of Nestl North America, which now pays only for the land where the springs are found. In response to a new tax, he says, Nestl would cancel a planned new plant, costing the state 250 jobs...
...although the Hilles renovation is still very much in progress, University Hall has done a poor job of keeping student groups up-to-date on exactly the quality of the space that will be available, leaving some student groups frustrated and angry. Going forward, we believe the College should cancel plans to transform Yard dorm basements into social space, and instead incorporate the Yard offices into the massive lottery for office space that will happen in the months to come.From a cost-benefit standpoint, the addition of new social space in the basement of freshmen dorms is not a compelling...
