Federal inspectors are investigating whether the death of Professor Stephen W. Lagakos last October in a car crash was caused by sudden-acceleration problems attributed to defective Toyota cars...
...some oversight or hypocrisy, the Crimson Staff has focused its attention on Israel’s shortcomings, applying a double standard to Israel, without making similar claims regarding how the U.S. should use its influence on other countries in the region.

Treatment for drug-resistant TB with second-line drugs is astronomically more expensive, more time-intensive, and associated with more toxic side effects. Third, the rise of TB and human immunodeficiency virus coinfection means TB is leading cause of death among HIV-positive patients: In Africa, HIV is the single most important factor contributing to the increasing incidence of TB over the last 10 years...
