...also includes making more models available globally. In the U.K., for example, 18 models will be on offer by next year, up from six in 2003. Nevertheless, Chrysler cars still reflect the company's domestic orientation. "They're built for American drivers and U.S. conditions," Anwyl says, which could limit their appeal in foreign markets. But Manley says Chrysler began addressing that problem in 2003, when it started taking international needs into account. It's tripling the number of cars available with right-hand drive, for instance, and quadrupling to 16 the number with a diesel engine option. It also...

We are encouraging people by showing the benefit of smaller families. Our population growth is very high. And Rwanda is already one of the most crowded countries in the world.

In the last few years, Kagame has met with the bosses at Microsoft, Google...
...economic disincentive, however small, to try a new and challenging course, but also to withdraw from an overly onerous one. Though some have proposed an extension or elimination of the drop/add period, it is in the best interests of both the College and its students to maintain some limit on the time period for changing enrollment. Harvard would do poorly to allow students, as Brown does, to drop classes until final examination period starts, which virtually ensures that students can escape any responsibility for their academic performance. It is also necessary to remind ourselves that being forced to struggle through...
