This demand is typically made less daunting, however, because of the four years over which students can spread out required classes. But at Harvard, along with the doomed core curriculum comes one time-specific requirement: that students take two semesters of a foreign language their freshman year unless they achieve a specified score on AP, SAT II, or Harvard placement tests...
...Their only hope is to take away votes from McCain," says one Republican strategist. "They don't need to convince people to vote for Mitt Romney, they just need to make sure McCain doesn't get any help from independents and that hard-core conservatives cast some kind of anti-McCain protest vote."

Many of his policy proposals, both foreign and domestic, have not yet been fleshed out. His research department is thinly staffed, and his press shop is constantly overwhelmed. His fundraising operation remains a bit of an unproven mystery. Chip Saltsman, the campaign manager, said the conversation about new hires would begin on the overnight plane ride. "This is a campaign that has been taking fire nationally for a while now," he said...
