...earmarked for priorities identified by the schools’ deans. As a result, these schools will likely receive an influx of major, much-needed donations for professorships, collaborative academic activity and financial aid. In addition to helping the smaller, poorer schools, this change makes eminent sense; such a generous donation to any of the University’s critical academic priorities ought to count for class credit...
...droppingly stylish that their students may find it hard to concentrate on their verb declensions. The department imports graduate students and their sense of style from all over the world. FM imported two of these style-savvy TFs to survey the budget holiday shopping scene in the Square.

Financial services are also rife with inefficiencies: Life insurance is largely sold...
Americans have a hard time understanding European anti-immigration attitudes because immigrants have been an indispensable part of this country’s success. But European economies are not designed to accommodate streams of newcomers. After World War II, Western Europe opted for social safety nets and generous pensions instead of unmitigated American-style capitalism. Europeans have the right to do as they like with their own countries and, like a more free-market system, the welfare state has its advantages and disadvantages. Europe’s unemployment rates would be intolerable in the United States, and the United States?...
