...right, the hypothetical math concentrator is a female—eat that, Larry Summers.For those precious few among us who value beauty and youth, professor Caroline Elkins and her course, Historical Study A-21 “Africa and Africans,” offer a satisfying dose of both. Students describe the Pulitzer-prize-possessing professor as funny, provocative, and opinionated. The dynamic lecturer who teaches by condensing a gargantuan subject into manageable themes and case studies also wows students with her sophisticated fashion sense. Aesthetics aside, Cosmo readers and African history enthusiasts alike appreciate this class?...
...neat, tailored dresses with sparkly gold sequins and a few puff ball skirts. The strongest show came from out-of-towners Kate and Laura Mulleavy who brought their chiffon mille-feuille frocks to New York from Pasadena. These two sisters, who have no formal fashion training but a healthy dose of imagination, presented their first runway show, and their vision, although a bit quirky, was strangely captivating.

Even so, he was taken by surprise when he gave a low dose of a moderate sedative called midazolam, designed to put the patient into a semiconscious state, somewhere between sleep and wakefulness--and the man stopped breathing. "There is no way of predicting that a patient would have responded that way," he says. "I've been doing this for years...
...problem began with Princess Masako. An accomplished Harvard-educated diplomat, fluent in four languages, Masako married Crown Prince Naruhito in 1993 and was expected to bring a welcome dose of feminism to the stuffy Japanese imperial family. Instead, Masako was swallowed whole by the all-powerful Imperial Household Agency (IHA), the palace insiders that guard - and, according to some observers, dominate - the lives of the royal family. Unlike the British royals, for instance, the Japanese imperial family's schedule is completely controlled by the IHA. They aren't allowed to have opinions, passports or even last names. Stifled...
