...students praised activity-based learning (ABL) at an event at the Phillips Brooks House yesterday, saying the approach can bridge the divide between theory and practice in the Harvard curriculum.

Currently featured in about 13 undergraduate courses, ABL has been recommended as an integral part of the general education reforms that will replace the current Core Curriculum. “[ABL] helps you learn outside of the classroom in a way you can’t get from...

As recently as March 5, Dr. Mohamed El Baradei, head of the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog organization, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), said his agency's inspectors "have not seen concrete proof of the industrial capacity to produce weapon-usable nuclear material." Weeks earlier, the IAEA had said that Iran remained some time away from even the capacity...
