...ease with which students could peruse all the courses in a particular department. And, in terms of ease, the new online-only version of the Q Guide should list courses by name and not only by number. Most importantly, however, the new online version should strive to be more effectively integrated with the my.harvard shopping tool. In its current state, the Q Guide does not even allow students to access course websites directly, a major and unnecessary inconvenience. In short, we hope that the shift to online guidebooks will improve the guides rather than merely transferring the current versions. Though...
...than are dying now. Past tax hikes have showed that smoking is price sensitive: Fewer kids start smoking and more smokers quit with each increase in the cost of a pack. Government "quit lines" got record numbers of calls on April 1, the day the current tax took effect. Restaurant smoking bans have also helped; so have ad campaigns about the dangers of smoking. Finding any and every way to deter and defeat the habit - including outlawing cigarettes and levying fines (no, not jail terms) for possession - would be a huge benefit to both our physical and fiscal health...

The little-boy ad launched the same week a new federal cigarette-tax increase went into effect - a double whammy in the fight against smoking. The New York City Health Department has fielded five complaint calls since the ad launched on March 30, a figure Mandel-Ricci says is dwarfed by the number of calls to the city's quitting-smoking line in the same time period...
...effect of this, officials say, has been to discourage talented people from seeking government jobs. What rankles some in the Administration is the fact that even mistakes that are relatively small and by all appearances inadvertent - such as U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk's failure to count as income speaking fees that he subsequently donated to charity - are being made public. "This is a new procedure on [the Senate's] part," complains one official, "and it has created an incredible anxiety on tax issues." Adds a prominent tax attorney who has experience in the confirmation process: "In the past...
