...major gap between the ideal and the reality of the Core curriculum lies in the fact that most departmental courses--which certainly employ the different "approaches to knowledge" that the Core hopes to teach--are not accepted for Core credit. It seems intellectually indefensible to argue that History 1071: "Introduction to Greek History," bestows a completely different version of the historian's perspective than Historical Study B-04: "Ancient Greek Democracy." However, according to the Core committee, the former course is not adequate to introduce students to methods of historical knowledge. Limiting undergraduates to a small selection of huge Core...
...While there are thousands of airports across the U.S., more than 70 percent of commercial traffic is concentrated at the 28 largest facilities, where airlines are apt to employ their "hub-and-spoke" systems. That is where the vast majority of delays occur. Yet building a new runway is such a complex and costly process that adding just a strip of tarmac can take decades because of local opposition of many kinds - political, economic, environmental. Nobody really wants a jetport in the backyard. Seattle-Tacoma international airport got local approval for a new runway in 1993, but it still hasn...

Hitting three out of 15 at a shooting stop feels like winning a gold medal. "Whoo hooo!" I yell, skiing out of the firing range "Whoo hooo!.... look at me, I'm a biaaaaaaathleeeete!" Just 10 seconds after finishing the workout my mysterious selective memory starts working its magic and all I can remember are the few brief moments when it went right. Everything else is instantly gone - the floudering, the struggle...
...Ritalin to tame their excess energies. Critics such as Dr. Thomas Szacz worried loudly about an overly medicated, drug-dependent society. But with more than 50 million Americans suffering from mental illnesses of varying degrees of severity, doctors in the clinical trenches felt they had no choice but to employ the best weapons at their disposal. Says Dr. Sophia Vinogradov, Barondes' UCSF colleague and a specialist in schizophrenia: "We now have a much more vigorous armamentarium for our patients...
