...going to solve the dance problem, as we all know—so we have to start looking at other areas. And, as I’ve told many of you in individual interviews, the expansion of Harvard University into Allston may only help undergraduate arts in an indirect way. If we can get someone who’s now here, in the Square, to vacate their space, we can take it over. If the transportation problem can be solved, Allston can be much more useful for undergraduates. Those of us who have worked at the Dean?...
...Indirect evidence of just such a possibility was published by researchers at the University of Wisconsin--Madison in the Journal of the American Medical Association last year. By looking at high-resolution images of the blood vessels of the retina--one of the few places where doctors can easily examine the body's vascular system without an invasive test--they found that women with the narrowest arteries were most likely to have heart disease but that the size of the blood vessels made no difference...
...Prime Minister Abu Mazen is generally perceived as a moderate and has earned some credibility by fighting for a reformist cabinet that intends to depose several Arafat cronies.

In an income tax, they...
...affected by SARS. The vermin could have contaminated common objects in the block, which could have then infected residents. Investigators are also exploring the possibility that the virus could be spread by household pets, either through infection?one cat in Block E tested positive for the coronavirus?or through indirect contact. On March 24, the kidney patient's brother and his wife were diagnosed with SARS; three days later, families living in apartments five floors directly above and below the brother's apartment had also developed the potentially deadly pneumonia. Investigators speculate that Hong Kong's high-rises, with their...
