...including Papadopoulos himself - the outlook seems more positive. The President-elect sees Clerides' line as a basis for future talks, and in his victory speech told supporters: "We want negotiations ... so that both communities can function under the plan." Once again, the U.N. may find itself embroiled in the endless politicking that plagues Cypriot peace initiatives. Last December, Cypriot leaders were given a choice: agree to the plan or be ostracized from the European Union. At the last minute, Turkish Cypriot leader Rauf Denktash, who says the U.N. is trying to turn Cyprus into a "Greek island," was not present...

In A.D. 125, a limit was placed on the number of vehicles that could enter Rome. For as long as there have been roads, it seems, there have been crowds of swearing, sweaty drivers...
...current curricular review should provide such an excellent opportunity for the Faculty to reexamine their aims for undergraduate education. With any luck, they will acknowledge that it should not be, as it is now, an endless series of worthless hoops for students to jump through en route to that prized Harvard degree. Critics of cutting back on the frequent progress checks in the current system might well argue that the changes could result in higher grades for students who cut corners and do not put in the effort of their peers.
