...amount of reading would be appropriate if all reading we had to do was more well-connected to the course," says literature concentrator Sarah E. Kerman '02. "In my experience, 75 percent of reading is useful and relevant...
...filled Sanders with his charismatic stage presence. Yannatos exchanged a few words with him, then plunged into the beginning of the concerto.

Well diggers known as moqanis were flown in from Kerman and Yazd to repair the ancient qanats, the giant underground system of wells and canals around the Kavir desert that for centuries have brought water to Tabas and greened its pools, palms and citrus trees. After slithering 180 ft. down into the canals to repair connections, they reported nervously that...
