What is not easy to accept is that weight gain in short time periods is not an image concern, but rather a health concern. The Harvard experience includes taking incredible classes, meeting amazing people, and establishing patterns for independent life after graduation—which should include, from the first day of shopping period, a better understanding of the basic nutritional practices that lead to healthy...

Whether or not Sunnis come out to vote in large numbers in Saturday's referendum, the underlying tensions that have pulled Iraq to the brink of civil war aren't likely to disappear. Few Sunnis have faith in the U.S.-sponsored political process or the Shi'ite and Kurdish leaders who have risen to power in Baghdad.
