...editors fail to see the real purpose of the Science Core requirement. As stated in the Courses of Instruction book for this year, the Core "does not define intellectual breadth as the mastery of a set of Great Books...rather, the Core seeks to introduce students to the major approaches to knowledge." This means that a Historical Studies Core will not be a comprehensive survey of Western Europe but will focus on an individual time period or culture to highlight historical transitions more specifically, as a survey course cannot...
This democratization of the highway has occurred simultaneously to a decline in traditional driver's education, once a near universal part of the curriculum in America's secondary schools--and a course beloved by generations of high schoolers, since the only way you could fail was by running over the instructor's cat.

And a clause saying that developing countries could voluntarily sign on to emission-reduction goals was still too strong for China and others to swallow--a problem that, if not solved, will make ratification by the U.S. Senate next to impossible...
...inspired food producers to experiment with such alternative sterilization techniques as steam pasteurization of beef carcasses and exposure of food to ozone, a highly reactive form of oxygen. Yet while these methods are cheaper and do not require the handling of radioactive material or disposal of nuclear wastes, they fail a critical test. Aside from cooking, only irradiation is penetrating enough, say the experts, to come close to meeting new federal guidelines mandating "zero tolerance" for microbial contamination of ground beef, which, unlike pork or poultry, is often eaten rare. Still, before irradiated beef can become available, the Department...
