This attitude is the cause of the more troubling tendency for the University indiscriminately to tell depressed students to "take time off" and that they are not fit as students. "They see time off as the fix to everything," says a junior who has survived an attempt. "Time off" deprives depressed students both of the already tenuous support system of friends and services that they have here and the incentive to admit to personal problems...
...broader re-evaluation of its future and that bigger changes may be afoot. Many industry professionals have long assumed that eventually DreamWorks would combine with Universal--a studio that has been engulfed in management turmoil. The combination might make sense: DreamWorks' animation department could make a nice fit with Universal's theme-park operations...

Quality improved in 1989 with the introduction of Hi8 film, and it caught on with some 10 million consumers, making 8 mm and Hi8 the most popular format. (The closest competition is VHS-C, a compact cassette that fits in an adapter that plays...

He realized that "an adenine-thymine pair held together by two hydrogen bonds was identical in shape to a guanine-cytosine pair." These pairs of bases could thus serve as the rungs on the twisting ladder...

Wegener had plenty of evidence, ranging from the jigsaw-like fit of the continents to the discovery of matching fossils on opposite sides of oceans, but he couldn't give a satisfactory explanation of what caused the global breakup...
