...study published in the August 7 issue of Science, vulnerability to extinction runs in families, meaning that some groups of species have a higher likelihood of becoming extinct than others. "It turns out that some branches of the tree of life are more extinction-prone than others," says Kaustuv Roy, a biology professor at the University of California, San Diego. "Those traits aren't just a part of extinctions that human beings cause, but a general feature of extinction itself." (See the world's endangered species...
...recent articles in The Crimson define this spectrum. With all of the idealism of a social studies concentrator, Jonathan T.

I would like to add my observations about investment bankers and those of their ilk. I wholeheartedly agree with Sen's lionization of these fabled heros, and often wonder myself why there is not more lore and myth about them...
