...plans differ in some ways that should be easy to negotiate--how much testing to require, how best to consolidate various programs. But there are two sticking points: Bush's plan gives vouchers to parents of kids in failing schools to pay for private school, an idea that is anathema to Democrats, and it doesn't guarantee most federal money goes to the neediest schools--a cornerstone of the New Democrats' plan...
Concentration advising has been criticized often, but it is difficult to affect broad changes because each concentration is so autonomous and the advising needs of students across concentrations differ so much. The council must urge Harvard to create an annual guide that evaluates concentrations in a manner similar to the CUE Guide. To address the inadequacies of concentration advising, we need to bring to the public forum honest information about each concentration. This will foster an exchange of ideas, put pressure on concentrations to shape up, and may also help first-years make informed decisions about which concentration...
...mice are different from people; they aren't perfect laboratory stand-ins. They don't age precisely the way people do, for example. They don't have monthly menstrual cycles, and their neurological and immune systems differ in important ways. Much better to have a more closely related animal with body systems that are more like ours--which is why primate center senior scientist Gerald Schatten and his colleagues decided to try manipulating the genes of the Rhesus monkey, a close cousin to humans and already the mainstay of many medical experiments...
Most Presidents (and most people), however, subjugate the environment to the economy. That the United States did not meet its obligations set out in the Kyoto Protocol to reduce carbon dioxide emissions, for example, did not seem to concern President Clinton too much. George Bush and his administration differ here more by scale than by type. Yet his newly appointed Cabinet poses another, more pernicious threat to the proud--and bipartisan--tradition of American environmentalism. For George II seems to be the champion of environmental elitism, where the natural heritage of this country only falls to those able to afford...
...forum began to come clearly into focus. Now she will have a grander forum and grander opportunities. Her new role as First Lady might produce its share of anxiety dreams, but judging by her years as first lady of Texas, she will prevail. Reasonable people can differ about how good a Governor George W. Bush has been, but few can dispute that Laura Bush has been the best first lady in years and years, maybe ever...
