...recommendations of the HCCR cannot faithfully be implemented until CGE’s are fully formed and ready to deploy. To hasten this process, the “Gang of Five,” or whoever chooses to be in charge, can begin by making CGE’s unambiguously central to general education. In a pedagogy which celebrates student choice, this means they must be incentivized. If students take a year-long CGE, it should count for a full distribution requirement—the equivalent of three courses, not just two. Students won’t really be cheating...

We look forward to your covering the rest of the planet with the same incredible enthusiasm. But what saddens us is humankind's penchant to hasten its destruction. The question is, Shall we all inherit the earth and enjoy it, or shall we destroy our planet? Syed Hussain Harrow, England It would seem that a far more accurate title for your stories would have been "The Wonders of Eurasia" - not "The Wonders of Europe" - since your report...
