Will consumers swallow a clear cola? Pepsi thinks they might and is considering a colorless version of its regular cola. Colas are dark only because bottlers have traditionally added caramel coloring. But Pepsi suspects that the dark brown hue may be too heavy for baby boomers, many of whom prefer the light and the natural. Regular colas have run into increasing competition from so-called new-age beverages, which usually have light, fruity flavors.

There is a small amount of color in these paintings -- generally strokes of earth green and rubbed patches of raw umber -- but the prevalent hue of the gray-to-silver monochrome seems to change from canvas to canvas, emitting different tints of light.

Also, campus protests would at least be interesting, something that another speech by Bok would...

This archaic process excludes innovative scholarship, devalues teaching skills and drives young talent to other schools. Young Professor of Sino-Vietnamese History Hue-Tam Ho Tai, who received a lifetime post in 1989, was the first junior professor promoted within Harvard's History Department in 20 years. No wonder junior faculty members desert Harvard in droves...
