Even worse, the fledgling democrats cannot seem to pull themselves together. Yeltsin last week urged the splintered, squabbling opposition factions to form a single, pro-democracy party. But Yuri Afanasyev, a leader of the liberal Inter-Regional Group of Deputies in the Parliament, opposed the idea. Putting everyone into the same party, he argued, was a Bolshevik approach. "It is better for us to agree on something fundamental," he said, "rather than join something anonymous and faceless...
...chorus in favor of calendar reform grows, there is still one issue up for debate: whether Harvard should have a January term. But while such an inter-semester mini-term might be superficially appealing, we doubt that it could succeed in practice and hope the University does not try to implement a J-Term. In March 2004, the Committee on Calendar Reform, one of the curricular review committees, proposed a “4-1-4” schedule to align Harvard with most other colleges: The school year would start immediately after Labor Day and final exams would...

Undergraduates would also benefit from the added coordination: cross-registration at other Harvard schools...
...announced that they would be offering a new joint degree. Further, HBS has been paying increasing attention to the business aspects of science, which could lead to collaboration between HBS and HMS or FAS. The development of the new Allston campus provides almost unprecedented opportunity to facilitate such inter-faculty cooperation by bringing many erstwhile isolated schools into close proximity. As interdisciplinary collaboration becomes increasingly important in the academic world, the Corporation and central leadership should continue to make it a priority for Harvard and actively develop new means to facilitate and improve infrastructural support for collaboration among its faculties...
