...Lowdown: Galicia is the non-Spanish Spain. It's typically not warm, not anywhere near the Mediterranean, and far from the foot-stomping, castanet-clanging, torero ole-ing that characterizes the nation's more well-known southern coast. As Barlow writes it, Galicia is a misty, mysterious place full of cagey old coots and rustic food fanatics. What better place, then, to embark on a semi-ridiculous, typically male journey. With good humor and shameless enthusiasm, he has written a delicious meat mash note...

Health care is the second most energy-intensive industry in the U.S., after food service and sales, with energy costs of $6.5 billion a year - a number that continues to rise. As the nation's 78 million baby boomers age, their need for medical services will dramatically increase.

Like it or not, there is more hard work on the horizon, and President Obama will need all the help he can get. Nathaniel S. Rakich ’10, a Crimson editorial writer...
...bill gradually raises the CAFE standard for cars to at least 35 m.p.g. by 2020. That's the first mandated increase in two decades - but the U.S. standards still lag behind those of Europe and Japan, and barely keep pace with China's. And, yet, that increase - against which foot-dragging U.S. automakers fought hard, complaining about the cost of meeting higher fuel efficiency standards - required compromises, which forced the NHTSA to keep using the old rules. "It's a shame that when this law was passed no one in the government went up and measured what was actually going...
