...early to render standard DVDs obsolete, but high-definition discs are clearly the future. The only question: Which format will become the industry standard, Blu-ray or HD DVD? Technically, they're pretty similar, so it will ultimately depend on what consumers will buy. Judging from CES's offerings, there is plenty to choose from. Both Toshiba and RCA announced they will ship $500 to $800 HD DVD players this spring. Sony, Panasonic, Sharp, Pioneer and Philips say they will ship Blu-ray players later this year. But Samsung will be first, with a $1,000 Blu-ray in April...

Because vegetation is the only means by which carbon dioxide is converted into life-giving oxygen, we need to start seriously thinking more about controlling deforestation. We should establish a massive international reforestation program to reverse global warming...
...might be possible to imagine Bono shedding his title as the world's greatest activist and reverting to his previous role as its biggest rock star--except that his happiness and peace of mind so obviously depend on being both. After the disappointment in Ottawa, Bono spent four days in Acapulco with absolutely nothing important to do and returned to the road a new man. "I'm like a camel. I store up sleep in my hump," he says. U2's never-ending Vertigo tour has come to Boston, and from his palatial suite he has the panorama...
...comprehensive solution that is both practical and effective. Searching for some cure-all solution, some have called for a stipulation requiring all faculty members to participate in the advising, but such a plan is impractical and even counterproductive. The quality of the student advising program doesn’t depend on the amount of Nobel Prizes that advisors have won; rather, it depends on all advisors having a thorough grasp of the College’s academic requirements and procedures—as well as actual interest in providing guidance to often-overwhelmed Harvard undergrads. As long as this requirement...
