...Ministry, there has been a 40% increase in the number of those registering at French consulates abroad since 1995. People are leaving for all sorts of reasons, of course, ranging from greater opportunities to higher salaries, from romantic entanglements to the search for a foreign utopia that may not exist. Two people leave France every day for tax reasons alone, according to a recent Senate report. But for the most part, those leaving are not wealthy retirees looking for a place in the sun; they are talented and ambitious young people in their 20s and 30s who have left because...
...born each year with low birth weight, and 96 percent of the afflicted infants are born in developing nations. UNICEF and other international health organizations already distribute certain nutrients to pregnant women in developing nations, and the researchers propose folding the tested multivitamins into aid networks that already exist to dispense supplements. Fawzi said that supplements currently distributed in developing nations include only iron and folate, both commonly given to expecting mothers. “The question now is how to incorporate additional nutrients into the same supplement and hopefully utilize the same distribution system,” Fawzi...

Though groups like HUWIB are not explicitly anti-male, the fact that they are essentially gender exclusive and the nature of their mission statements suggest an underlying negativity against the other sex. The group purports to aim to enable women to be more able participants of the global marketplace, but I fail to see how alignments on the basis...
...Harvard that we learn more from our fellow students than we do in class. It certainly describes my experience, particularly when assessed against the classes I took in the Core. However, it is not simply that peer learning often trumps academic learning, but that the two so frequently exist in entirely separate spheres. A truly revitalized undergraduate education would adopt methods that more strongly involve undergraduates as collaborators in each other’s educations; to this end, the Task Force on General Education’s final report should mark the start of a larger conversation about how Harvard...
