The study also found that 33.8 percent of students did not know that the Geneva Conventions require that doctors “treat the sickest first, regardless of nationality.” In addition to four multiple-choice questions, the students polled...
...selling point—even though the company’s Web site cautions that not all its buses have plug-in power outlets. “With wireless, traveling would be so much more efficient, knowing I’ll have a seat and can spend the 4 hour ride productively,” said Anesha P. Grant ’08, a Brooklyn native and regular Greyhound passenger. Representatives of Fung Wah declined to comment. Greyhound Lines did not return several phone calls...
