Classes at Williams are small, although introductory courses of the 101 genre can be somewhat large (as in 80, not 200). Size usually decreases after you choose your major. It can be difficult to enroll in some courses (i.e. Studio Art 100 and certain 100-level Environmental Studies classes) if you are not majoring in the subject. However, students who take initiative and talk to professors beforehand usually have no problems in enrollment...

Unlike the ferociously certain Forstmann, I end up in the mushy middle. I don't want to keep any kid from getting out of a bad school now, but I am worried that we won't be able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again if we try the wrong experiment. Forstmann, who has a history of good works, is doing good here by playing out the idea that the poor shouldn't be a captive audience for bad schools. Forstmann has demonstrated the demand side. Perhaps, as a Master of the Universe, he'll move on to the supply...
...studies yet undertaken to evaluate the treatment. The news, on its face, was not good. Transplant therapy, the studies suggest, may not improve survival odds any more than traditional therapy. The findings, however, are preliminary, and further study may overturn them altogether. By week's end, all that was certain was that an already heated debate would get hotter still and that patients who want the therapy are not giving up hope. "With this treatment," says Geisbush, "at least some people have survived...
...also not certain that it isn't, and that's where things get muddy. It took experimenters years to collect the volunteers they needed to give their findings any statistical oomph--in part because women didn't want to risk being in the half of the sample group that received conventional therapy instead of the transplant. Over that time, transplant methods improved, and it is thus possible that higher mortality rates from women earlier in the research are dragging down more positive results from women later on. For now, the only answer appears to be more and better studies...
