...late summer. Ultimately, we like the extra-long study period that holiday break and Reading Period allow for. Sacrificing weeks of summer, a long Reading Period, and an intersession travel period for a run-of-the-mill College schedule is simply not worth it. With the calendar in imminent danger of being changed, plans for a January Term (“J-Term”) were also being floated. Middlebury, Cornell, MIT, Williams and a host of other schools boast these J-Terms, which allow their students to study independently or participate in numerous different activities in the time between...
...presented a target of opportunity, and King aide Bernard Lee pulled King and Abernathy among swirling followers down McCall Avenue toward the Mississippi River. Lee bulled and dodged interference until he flagged down two astonished women in a Pontiac, then a police motorcycle. Lieut. M.E.

At 5 ft. 9 in. [1.75 m] and 150 lbs. [70 kg], he looks...
...Hwang?s disgrace shouldn?t be used as an excuse to pour scorn on the idea of therapeutic cloning itself. Ambition and pride are a danger in any high-risk, high-reward area of science, but therapeutic cloning is so promising that it needs to be pursued regardless. The potential medical advantages are enormous: by cloning a patient?s own cells to create stem cells, then coaxing those stem cells to become new pancreatic, brain, spinal cord or heart tissue, for example, it?s conceivable that a victim of Parkinson?s, Alzheimer?s, diabetes, paralysis or heart disease could shore...
