...misrepresented in the brochures and misapplied in practice—the section and its accompanying TF.The section, at least as it was described to me when I applied to college, was some sort of glorious ivory tower summit between a small group of students and a professor or an expert graduate student in the field. It was to be a place to shout out crazy ideas, to debate and wrestle with complicated issues, and generally look forward to attending every week. My impression was about as wrong as the O.J. Simpson jury.The most tangible problem with sections is the people...

...tests on samples taken from two of the most recent human victims of bird flu show no cause for immediate alarm.
