...letter to Brandeis students and faculty to apologize for his confusing mishandling of the whole affair. "The statements [from the university ]gave the misleading impression that we were selling the entire collection immediately," he wrote, "which is not true. The University may have the option, subject to applicable legal requirements and procedures, to sell some artworks if necessary, but I assure you that other options will also be considered." In his letter Reinharz also said that "the museum will remain open," but as an arts study center, "more fully integrated into the university's central educational mission...
There are other potential solutions - like putting a cap on fish catches, allocating shares in the quota and allowing fishermen to trade or sell those shares - which research suggests can lead to more sustainable fishing.

...took off, its Rolls-Royce engines gripping the air the way a well-made sports car grips the road ... I could see how people might get used to this." The punch line of the story was that Obama's staff asked him to give up the practice, which was legal, because he was the Democrats' Senate point man on ethics reform. "It was the right thing to do, but I won't lie," he admitted. "The first time I was scheduled for a four-city swing ... flying commercial, I felt some pangs of regret." The traffic was awful. His plane...
