...Graham and Charles E. Schumer ’71 proposed a 27.5 percent tariff on all Chinese imports until the Dollar-Yuan exchange rate adjusts and American products become more competitive.

...royalties for articles quickly add up. When you also factor in commercial printing costs, it’s not unusual for a coursepack to cost over $100—as we know all too well.

Is Shaq really the right person to work with on a Positive Psych project? And should George W. Bush really be admitted to an Ivy League institution?Well, maybe the Fates can’t answer that last one, but Mr. Scientologist and Miami’s Most Wanted probably aren?...
...more than an overindulgence of Ec10, this recent complication to the electoral process leaves me worried that far too many students have yet to fulfill their Moral Reasoning Core. In a campaign season dominated by political pandering and personal connections, our ethics don’t seem to count for much...
