...reluctant to draw such broad conclusions about the gender disparities. "There are many different possible explanations," says NIMH neuroscientist Daniel Pine, who suggests a much more ordinary reason for the girls' more emotional response. "It might be possible that the girls are trying to remember what they wrote earlier [about the kids in the photos]," he says. "You can imagine a scenario where they say, 'Oh, did I write something bad about that girl?' Boys are simply doing that less." In other words, it may be that boys are cads because they're not wired to be any other...
...collections are still there." Harvard College Library, a division of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences that administers Widener, Lamont, and Cabot Science Libraries among others, recently eliminated over 20 staff positions as part of the University-wide layoffs. HCL had implemented a variety of cost-cutting measures earlier this year as well, eliminating duplicate print subscriptions for digitally available content, centralizing technical services, and streamlining staff duties. Nevertheless, Brainard said that HCL is "spread very thinly right now" in terms of its budget—although she could not provide specific figures—and that administrators must "figure...
...that most of the media is still in a "post-9/11 swoon" and doesn't cover the department with any teeth.

Earlier this month, Amnesty International published the findings of its inquiry into the conflict, accusing both Israel and Hamas of committing war crimes. Just this week, Britain announced that it had banned the sale to Israel of spare parts for its Saar 4.5 class corvette, because of the way the missile vessel had been used by Israel during the Gaza operation. An official...
Following earlier claims by Israeli soldiers that are similar to some of those published on Wednesday, the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) in April conducted its own internal inquiry into allegations of abuse during the operation. While it said that mistakes led to civilian casualties in one or two isolated cases, the IDF concluded that there had been no instances of civilians deliberately killed by the defense force. Amnesty International and Palestinian sources say 1,400 Palestinians were killed during Operation Cast Lead, and that more than 900 of these were civilians, including 300 children and 115 women...
