...array of publications, performances, conferences, etc. that are sponsored by student groups, including new ones arising every year, is a source of pride for the College and a vehicle for education outside the classroom that is important to what students learn here," he writes...
...promise of these drugs holds up, however, cancer treatment in the 21st century will bear little resemblance to today's chemotherapy. Drugs will be precisely tailored to the individual tumor, and the cancers themselves will be described not by the site they attack--breast cancers, lung cancers, etc.--but by the genes they express. The National Cancer Institute is at work creating a DNA library of tumor types, a long-range project called C-GAP (Cancer Genome Anatomy Project). But it will be years before this library can be put to practical use. "It took 20 years to make testing...
...other writer of Rick Moody's generation would have used a plot like this as an excuse to hold a pity party--indeed, probably would have created the plot expressly to condemn the previous generation for messing up the world, etc., etc. But Moody makes no moral judgments on the sad state of affairs in Connecticut that has hemmed Hex and Billie and Billie's husband Lou Sloane into standard suburban lives; instead, he analyzes and describes and unravels character and action and landscape in scintillating prose. He is a young author who chooses to write about rather sordid, dull...

Similar results were found by a Federal Reserve report...
...worth its time, it seems that some progress may now be made as a result of the UC's increased lobbying this semester. Dean Lewis has expressed tacit support for cable television at least in the common areas of the houses and Yard (i.e. Grills, JCRs, etc.), and the University is currently in discussion about the possibility of bringing this cable to Harvard students. The long-term goal remains cable television in every suite at Harvard, but the common areas constitute an important first step. Look for UC reps in your dining hall this week conducting polls with regard...
