...opposite sex. The subject material that male and female students cover in their respective courses is identical; the only difference is that single-sex classrooms present that material in a more palatable way for students entering the awkwardness of puberty. Considering these facts, applying what is in this case the irrelevant “separate is unequal” maxim to this particular method of single-sex education diminishes both the cause of gender equality and the potential benefits of this new approach to education...
...worst losses are the ones in which a team beats itself. Such was the case for the Harvard women’s lacrosse team Saturday afternoon in Providence, R.I, as the Crimson (2-3, 0-1 Ivy) fell to Brown (3-2, 1-0), 12-8, in a lackluster performance that left its players angry and disappointed. “I think that we shot ourselves in the foot,” senior Kaitlin Martin said. “I don’t think that Brown did anything really spectacular.

...However, the pro-stem cell contingent is also guilty of overblown rhetoric, not only for labeling the decision as a godsend but also for being too cavalier about procedures with legitimate ethical concerns.

Take the red pill and you’ll see that house dinners are really just the same food with little fake candles...
...Puzzlingly, however, the junta's planting directive has not been matched by adequate infrastructure to turn those acres into energy, like collection mechanisms, processing plants, distribution systems. My friend dutifully tends his jatropha trees and then watches the seeds fall on the ground and die. In his case, the spindly physic-nut shrubs in his garden are supplanting a fragrant frangipani tree or colorful hibiscus bush. But elsewhere in Burma - a nation where UNICEF estimates malnutrition afflicts one-third of children - farmers have had to put aside valuable crop land for a wasted plant...
