...Morality, like religion, is inculcated by family and fostered by community. It is the glue that binds a family together. When morality is thrown to the winds, license takes over, and one can witness the slow but sure unraveling of every part of society, similar to what is currently happening in the West. As human beings, we have the capacity to think, reason, elevate our minds and arrive at a rational decision without laying blame at anyone else's door. Immorality is not endemic. We have the choice of being upright or engaging in forbidden behavior. Maria Jacob, Mississauga, Canada...

Harvard’s commitment to excellence or pursuit of truth—one can claim—should be that glue, and not a nostalgic deifying of the past. But past experience speaks more loudly than promises for the future: A tradition of excellence, by virtue of its longevity, rightly...
...been cut to 28 from 60. Jobson patrols the factory floor in his white coat and hairnet, soliciting ways to improve production. Nestle sent a manufacturing SWAT team to help last year. That resulted in a raft of small production-line improvements, including redesigning the levers that dab glue on the wrappers and reprocessing wasted sugar rather than feeding it to York's pigs--tiny changes but ones that add up and are far cheaper than a new robot.
