Guttmacher researchers concur, pointing out that countries like Holland, Sweden and France provide far more generously for indigent young mothers, yet have low pregnancy rates. Research by Sociologist Frank Furstenberg of the University of Pennsylvania further refutes the notion that teenagers who become pregnant are simply looking for a handout. In following 400 young black mothers in Baltimore, Furstenberg discovered that most were "surprisingly motivated to get off welfare." In fact, 17 years after bearing a first child, only one-quarter were receiving public assistance...
...beloved physicist and chemist at the University of Illinois, the swap of a businessman for an academic seemed to augur a marked corporatization of the Corporation. But Summers was taking the board in a slightly more specific direction. His appointees were pure economists by training, men most likely to concur with his empirical approach to university governance. And perhaps more importantly, the three economists—Summers, Rubin, and Reischauer, stewards of the golden era of the Clinton economy—were all pals. It would be far more difficult for the president to lose a confidence vote...

(Despite their fierce differences, the political factions representing Lebanon's Maronite Christians, Shiites and Sunnis have tended to concur in their enmity towards the Palestinian refugees, who remain confined to squalid camps on the margins of Lebanon's major cities...
Such filagree, scholars concur, would have been foreign to Matthew, who wrote sometime after A.D. 60, a decade or two before Luke. "He would have found it very odd, very goyish, perhaps even offensive," says the University of Texas' White. But that, he contends, is the point. Unlike Matthew, Luke is thought to have been a pagan rather than a Jewish convert to Christianity, writing in fine Greek for other non-Jews and so using references they would find familiar. His version's heraldic announcements, parallel pregnancies, angelic choirs and shepherd witnesses bear a tantalizing resemblance to another literary form...
