According to Assistant Dean for Undergraduate Education Jeffrey Wolcowitz, students are only allowed to grade material that is "objectively right or wrong."

...TIME's Jeffrey Birnbaum and Michael Duffy report that seven centrist politicians have been quietly plotting a run for the White House. In two late October conference calls, the schemers concluded that there is a hunger for a party that is fiscally conservative, socially liberal, pro-environment and in favor of campaign-finance reform. Next Sunday, the group members, which include Democratic Senator Bill Bradley of New Jersey, former Republican Senator and Independent Governor of Connecticut Lowell Weicker and former Democratic Senators Paul Tsongas of Massachusetts and Gary Hart of Colorado, will hold their most important call yet. They will...
