...equation is completely different. Within countries like Israel, there are dangerous places and there are places where life is almost completely normal. The fact that Harvard students are allowed to travel to the Indian side of Kashmir, yet are banned from studying at universities within Israel proper betrays the extent to which Harvard has overlooked the true dangers facing its students in favor of conforming to easily justifiable State Department warnings...
...Some in the Church see the conservatism personified by the new pope as the reason for the decline of membership in Europe and to a lesser extent the U.S. Others, however, feel that Church has not explicitly enough stated its guiding values strongly enough, and that a stronger sense of what the Church stands for would have avoided the decline in numbers.

And at Nevado del Ruiz, warning signs had abounded since Dec. 22, 1984. At that time a series of earthquakes were detected, followed by 30 minutes of harmonic tremor. Mild tremors continued throughout the spring and summer, and on Sept. 11, ash spewed forth for seven hours, accompanied...
...creation of a union would no doubt address the grievances of graduate students at Yale and Columbia. A union could advocate on behalf of TFs to an unprecedented extent. Additionally, the university-wide common pay scales that the graduate student organizations are calling for would be a marked improvement over flat payment schemes that are currently used, which give TFs little incentive to improve or invest more time in their teaching. Unionization could also fix financial aid for graduate students, the terms of which in many instances require them to teach sections. No undergraduate should have to endure a section...
