Tired of poor returns from traditional methods of luring the opposite sex, singletons in Britain are turning to a quick-fix solution: speed dating. Lining up at tables in bars and clubs across the country, single men and women come on to one another for precisely three minutes before a bell sends them shuffling over to the next table. Salsa dancing and games (tarot cards, anyone?) are also on offer. Daters mark their card if they find someone interesting, and if the attraction is mutual the pair can swap e-mails later. For those who don't connect, three minutes...
...Russian Soyuz craft, which isn't the most comfortable or the safest ride. Beyond that, however, the space station is likely to be left unoccupied for a long time. NASA won't want to use the shuttle again until it can establish the cause of today's accident, and fix it.

While increasing the quality of inner-city education may not be the immediate, quick fix solution that politicians are looking for, ultimately it is the only way to achieve a university environment that values both diversity and success. In the meantime, the universities should increase minority recruitment and outreach programs to ensure that they maintain a suitable level of diversity on their campuses in the short...
...proving that the public supported the president's policy towards Saddam Hussein, he was willing to get off message about the economy. "The Iraq numbers are fine," he said, "it's the numbers on the economy that worry us." Tonight, Bush did more to help the first than to fix the second...
