Even so, a recession is under way. The goal now, said economist and Obama aide Austan Goolsbee, is to prevent a depression. Obama also sees in the current mess a rare confluence of both crisis and opportunity that gives him the chance to remake the U.S. economy. After months in which members of his own party wondered how Obama could keep all his promises in a single term, he is now setting the stage to attempt far more in his first year in office than seemed likely just a month ago. "We're coming in," noted Goolsbee, "with a bang...
...After barely missing the title of Ivy League champions, being forced to find their place amongst the NCAA contenders with an at-large bid, and squeaking through the first round of the tournament with a double-overtime goal, the Crimson was finally stopped with a 2-1 loss at the hands of the No. 8-ranked University of South Florida.

...Third, we have poverty reduction and development. Development is a goal that people like to tack onto other projects. Conservation and development is a prominent example in East Africa.

For example, biofuel production will supposedly create jobs for Tanzanians, but when I spoke with SEKAB, a Swedish biofuel company, they told me production would be mechanized, requiring fewer workers. If they truly want to meet “development” goals, biofuel companies would have to make choices that...
...came to Harvard with the expectation of learning a skill beyond the use of academic jargon or the art of networking. Some would say that this goal is incompatible with an interest in the humanities. If I wanted to learn things that are useful or applicable, perhaps I should have studied biochemical engineering. Perhaps it is too much to ask courses on obscure Chinese dynasties or distant literary movements to provide a student with essential life skills. But I expect more of the humanities precisely because I reject the notion that they are useless. The problem is not that...
