...discussion of that rationale between now and the presentation of a revised report at the Faculty’s next meeting on Dec. 12. “Coming out of the meeting, it seemed that the biggest issue for us to wrestle with is whether general education should be driven by disciplines or subject matters that can be approached by a number of disciplines,” Simmons said. Both Menand and Simmons said that they had already heard most of Tuesday’s criticisms in smaller meetings with other committees and departments. “We?...
...he’s an immensely talented actor and, like Christian Bale did for “Batman,” his performance makes “Casino” much richer than it is expected to be.The film works so well because it is a return to character-driven action fare.

Last week, after many years of trying, Vietnam won its bid to join the World Trade Organization, a move that could help liberalize the country's economy and spark an export-driven boom similar to the boost China received after it joined the WTO in 2001. Vietnam is already on a roll. It's GDP growth rate this year is projected to be 8.2%, the second-fastest pace in Asia behind China and in a dead heat with India. Exports were...
