...classes in the next two weeks, while universities hit by Hurricane Katrina, including Tulane and Loyola, will stay closed until next semester. At Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, fallen trees have been cleared away but restoration teams are still working across campus to dry out waterlogged carpets and floors, fix Internet servers and phone systems, and repair buildings before students return to campus next Monday, according to the school’s website and an administrator there.Many Lamar students were scheduled to graduate in December, and thus the school had to create a revised fall term schedule that will allow...
...over the devastated parish, families are trying to decide whether to stay or move on. "At first, people think they're going to fix their homes," says councilwoman Judy Hoffmeister, shaking her head as she watches a friend, Calvin Melerine, 66, shovel mud from his two-story home and ditch one piece of furniture after another.

The firm this year recalled 1.3 million cars, including C-Class and SL-Class as well as E-Class models built between 2002 and '05, took back the lemons, switched engines in some models and started providing two-year full-service warranties to disgruntled owners. In the process, the brand...
...editorial writing with that last sentence. I assigned blame, nebulously, to “Fly-By,” when I should have been more explicit. It’s our fault. We’re Harvard students, and we’re stupid. All it would take to fix Fly-By is a conscious choice on the part of Fly-By-goers to treat the different food stations at Fly-By like they treat the different food stations at the Greenhouse. Once we’ve all filled up our bags with six nutritious items, we can queue...
