...presidential election. Other countries have gotten there—just look at the rather healthy system of electronic voting that exists in Australia. According to an article featured on Wired.com, “Australians designed a system [in 2001] that addressed and eased most of those concerns: They chose to make the software running their system completely open to public scrutiny.” That is, whereas Diebold chose to keep its software coding secret until it was finally leaked and posted on the web—and subsequently scrutinized by Avriel and his associates—the private Australian...

These games could go for hours, like sessions of the various solo bat-and-ball activities that young Greg would settle for sometimes...
...good way of increasing student-faculty interaction and encouraging the type of classroom experience that undergraduates ought to expect at Harvard. There is no reason why students at Harvard must necessarily be denied the kind of faculty interaction that students at small liberal arts colleges get simply because they chose to attend a research university. Other laudable proposals include requiring that all tutorial programs be headed by a professor and reducing section size from 18 to 15, both of which will help to ensure the quality of the undergraduate educational experience...
