Harvard’s Digital Printing Services lists nine classes with offerings of more than $100 each, while at least a half dozen other packs from the Coop exceed this threshold as well; the readings price tag for Women Gender and Sexuality 1003, Theories of Sexuality, for example, is more than $300. Professors need to do a better job of factoring in coursepack costs when they select readings for their courses.

...Iraqis living abroad, however, have nothing to fear from the insurgency. So reports of a low turnout among Iraqi exiles may be explained by other factors. As few as 10 percent of Iraqis living in the U.S. are expected to vote, and the worldwide total among exiles may not exceed 25 percent in the 14 countries where voting has been arranged.
