...occasionally polyurethane, the modern condom can stretch to 800 percent its normal size, if necessary—both a prophylactic and a practical joke waiting to happen. As a method of birth control, it boasts a 98 percent success rate, and when used to protect against STDs, one incurs less than a quarter of the risk one might incur through unprotected sex. As prophylactics go, condoms are pretty solid, not as foolproof as abstinence, but a far sight safer than nothing...
...Paul J. Barreira, Harvard’s director of university counseling, academic support and mental health services, said in an interview. Barreira added that keeping a suicidal student on campus was an unfair burden to place on roommates of the mentally ill. He also said that universities would incur enormous costs providing such comprehensive treatment, which is not covered by current student medical coverage.

They would settle for any outcome as long as Harvard starts moving, and moving publicly. Yet if the EAC deems the vote unlikely to achieve the goal stated on the referendum...
...condo for $300,000, and housing prices drop 10% over the next 12 months, as some economists forecast. In the condo, you would lose just $30,000 on paper; in the house, you would lose $60,000. The condo savings, however, don't include expenses, which you incur whenever you move...
