Chiseled over the Dexter Gate to Harvard Yard on Mass. Ave. is a surprising inscription. On the street side, the inscription reads "Enter to Grow in Wisdom"--nothing terribly shocking for a University. But the message written on the Yard side of the gate betrays its age: "Depart to Serve Better Thy Country and Thy Kind." These words designate the gate a relic, a memento from a time that has surely left us behind. The inscription, composed by Harvard President Charles William Eliot, class of 1893, elegantly expresses a concept of the university that seems archaic and foreign these days...

However, a majority of Israelis support Peres on the pullout issue, says Beyer. "Most Israelis have a visceral feeling for the settlers because they are Israelis, but these settlers have been so badly behaved that the mainstream Israeli opinion has written them...
...business investment. "The most impressive thing is that accompanying the extraordinary growth in the first quarter are numbers which indicate that inflation is at the lowest level in 30 years," says TIME's Bernard Baumohl. "This shows that this growth is not necessarily inflationary, the economy can continue to grow and there won't be any reason for the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates." Interest rates soared on the bond market today because of the fear that the strong economic figures will lead to the build-up of inflationary pressures, especially before Friday's key employment data which could...
