...tempting to diagnose the cause of this unhappiness as too much work and too little time out of the classroom. Or, put another way, it seems obvious that students’ personal problems are exacerbated by the quantity and quality of academic work they are expected to churn out on a regular basis. Of course, this pressure is generally self-inflicted, which points towards why so many Harvard undergraduates might be unhappy. Nonetheless, it is pretty uncontestable that any increase in the volume of schoolwork would also add to current levels of depression. This view was neatly encapsulated by outgoing...
Like the reliable erection its new product promised, Pfizer's stock had risen 21% in the previous two months. Some urologists bought rubber stamps so they could churn out prescriptions, and equally excited patients booked advance appointments. Despite all that, Viagra, the world's most popular prescription party drug, didn't have much of a party the day the FDA gave its much-anticipated O.K. to sildenafil citrate. That's because giant pharmaceutical companies--even ones that get a license from the government to print money in blue-pill form--aren't really party places. "We had a nice dinner...
...January 2001, the site began charging several hundred pounds a year to subscribe. Worst of all, it had the audacity to sell its content to that antediluvian medium, the daily newspaper: eight papers across Europe now run Breakingviews content. The result: a lean staff of 10 journalists who churn out a few finely crafted nuggets of financial insight a day. And a few hundred companies willing to pay as much as €73,453 a year for their employees to read them. What's next? Dixon says he'd love to expand...
Late in the week, the agency began speculating about a far less obvious cause of the accident: atmospheric turbulence. As the shuttle descends, air moves smoothly over the wings until, at about 150,000 ft., it begins to churn and swirl. As long as the shuttle is moving slowly enough, at about 6,000 m.p.h., it can handle the transition. If the shift happens higher in the atmosphere, when the ship is moving faster, the heat and stress increase dramatically. This can sometimes make a shuttle pull to one side--just as Columbia did. Early turbulence can be caused...
...maybe soon; Verizon is appealing the ruling. If it stands, it could open the door to as many subpoenas as the music industry's army of lawyers can churn out. When you share songs online, you broadcast an address that your ISP can link back to you. But right now there are just too many services--and way too many users--for either the industry or your ISP to monitor them all. Subpoenas will aim for obvious targets on the most popular services--like that Kazaa user, who had put more than 600 pirated tunes online. Those who download...
