...while the story was no belated April Fools' Day hoax, it needn't strike fear into Scrabble purists' hearts either. Some media reports claimed that the new rules would forever change the face of the game, but Mattel insists that they will only apply to Scrabble Trickster - a spin-off game going on sale in July - and that the classic version will still be available for sale. The new game will initially be available only in the U.K., where Mattel owns the rights to the game. Hasbro, which owns the rights to Scrabble in the U.S., says...
...what would happen if the average day in Cambridge was 75 degrees and mostly sunny? Disaster, that’s what. The temptation to walk along the river or play tennis for a couple hours might win out over spending the day studying in Lamont uninterrupted. As opposed to the inches of slush that usually accompany days at Harvard and keep us inside where we can focus on work, the sun might trick us into taking a break.

The occasional cheery days that Cambridge does enjoy are not enough to distract us from our main purpose at Harvard—to become wealthy future world leaders and save people from...
...neonatal care. Behind the screen of its phenomenal economic growth, the country continues to struggle with abysmally high rates of newborn deaths. According to national estimates, for every 1,000 live births, 39 babies die in their first month; a third of these don't survive their first day. In Jharkhand and Orissa, two of east India's most impoverished and underserved states, the numbers are worse still - 49 and 45 deaths per 1,000 live births, respectively. The neonatal mortality rate in China, by comparison, lingers under 15. "Just improving health services will not do," says Dr. Prasanta Tripathy...
