...peer-review. Initiatives such as PLoS ONE will help promote free and unfettered scientific study, supplementing and revolutionizing an oligarchic academic process.

...village of Margueron, an hour's drive to the east, at Jean Charles' winery just behind the medieval church, the picture couldn't be more different. Charles usually sells his entire output to a local merchant, who bottles and markets it for him. But this year, for the first time, the merchant won't touch the stuff.

The UC’s Campus Life Committee (CLC), flush with cash, petered it away on poorly planned and expensive events, culminating in a $30,000 cancellation fee for last fall’s Wyclef Jean (non-)concert. After that debacle, the Council effectively un-funded the CLC, divvying up some of what was left of its $100,000 budget among House Committees (HoCos) and party funds. Then the UC lopped off the CLC and left campus-wide social programming to the new College Events Board, which...
