...Public health and environmental groups were quick to call the new rules too lax. According to a report from the American Lung Association, the new rules "leave far too many people at risk of serious harm - even premature death - from breathing unhealthy, polluted air." The Lung Association, the American Medical Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Heart Association all favor a daily standard of 25 microgram per cubic meter of air for fine particles and an annual limit of 12 micrograms per cubic meter...

Among the best are Henry Green's “Loving” and Muriel Spark's “The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.” Unfortunately, Wood spends almost a month on “Atonement” by Ian McEwan, which is taught...
...good advice. Trust me: you don’t want to tackle the nature of existence before you can write a decent essay. To help you write that perfect paper, you’ll be assigned to a faculty member (not a TF) for advising, and despite the lax course requirements—12 courses for the elective track, 13 for honors—you’ll probably need all the help you can get, at first anyway. Along with its “light” course load, Philosophy is famous for Professor Alison Simmons (who is very...
