...this summer that starting in May 2009, its law school will offer an accelerated J.D. program to be completed in two years instead of the traditional three. The Chicago school, which will continue to offer a three-year program as well, is not the first to let some students fast-track their legal education. The University of Dayton School of Law and Southwestern Law School, in Los Angeles, already have two-year express tracks. But as the first top-tier law school - ranked ninth in the country by U.S. News & World Report - to offer the program, Northwestern could be especially...
...Less time on campus most likely won't mean a break on tuition. While Northwestern has not yet set the costs for its two-year program, administrators have hinted that fast-track students will be paying somewhere around the $128,016 that students shell out over the course of three years to get a J.D. "We generally charge by the degree rather than the time served," says Van Zandt. "The real savings will be the extra year of salary students make by getting out into the marketplace faster."

Walking around Berlin recently, the American visitor could be forgiven for thinking Germany was the 51st state in the Union - and that it would vote heavily for Senator Barack Obama on November 4.

She feels the movement very profoundly, and she is very beautiful on stage.'' In the stratified Soviet system, he has brought her along relatively fast. He felt he was taking a chance when he put her in Swan Lake in Paris during the company's 1982 engagement because her portrayal was not yet ''precise.'' But the debut was a triumph. She enchanted the Western press, and word of her began to spread. On this year...
...Robert Lloyd; Christoph von Dohnanyi conducting the Cleveland Orchestra and Chorus (Telarc). Every decade Karajan tackles the Beethoven symphonies, and these new recordings of the heroic Third and frisky Eighth complete his latest cycle. Like his previous version, issued in the mid-1970s, these interpretations are forceful and decisive, fast without being headlong, firm without being inflexible. The Berlin Philharmonic's playing is silky as ever. But in terms of sheer kinetic excitement, nothing will top the explosive, elemental performances from the 1960s. Dohnanyi's Ninth boasts a strong quartet of soloists and is infused with the German maestro...
