...have never been under more academic stress than I have been in the last three weeks," says Elizabeth D. Kilmartin '94, a biology concentrator in Winthrop House. Although Kilmartin does have plans to waste time after her thesis is due, I cut this interview short. Who needs to be depressed with other people's problems...
...Welcome to Slashdot, one of the busiest news outposts on the Net. It's 8:30 a.m. at gadget-laden Geek Compound, where the Slashdot crew lives and works in the outskirts of Holland, Mich.

Remember "the big disease with the little name"? Well, the bad news is that the sharp decline in deaths from AIDS that began two years ago, occasioned by powerful new drugs, has been cut in half. Some patients have struggled to get access to the drugs; others haven?t maintained the rigorous discipline required to maintain complicated daily dosing schedules of a cocktail of different pharmaceuticals; and even in many cases where the drugs have been properly administered, the virus often has proved more resilient than the medicine. AIDS researchers, doctors and activists gathered Monday in Atlanta for the National...
