...writing than the standard Expos fare, and come highly recommended by sleazy IOP whores. “Southern Writers Reconsidered” and preceptor Tom “Your Biggest Fan” Underwood are both long-standing Expos institutions. Tom will show you pictures of his dachshunds, then load section with extensive but interesting readings. As a word of warning, be prepared for any class about “Encounters with the Other” or “East and West” or stuff like that to suck. Further pearls of wisdom: many Expos sections include peer...
...freed from the usual constraints associated with a regular course offering” (i.e. letter grades and final exams), they aren’t all a walk in the Harvard Forest (although you can do that too). Many have full-length term papers and a hefty reading load. Having not yet mastered the art of BS, it becomes painfully apparent (and mildly amusing) when frosh don’t do the readings, which they often neglect in these pass/fail seminars. Thus, it might be worthy to note that the workload varies significantly by course. The more masochistic Harvardians might like...
...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.

The U.N. has an unofficial system of regional rotation, so it is all but certain that its next leader will come from Asia. Which brings us to another...
...carbon to convert it to methylmercury, a metabolically stickier form that stays in the body a long time. That is bad news for the food chain, since every time a bigger animal eats a smaller animal, it consumes a heavy dose of its prey's mercury load. That's why such large predatory fish as shark, swordfish, mackerel, tilefish and albacore tuna are so heavily contaminated. Less publicized but still problematic is toxic mercury vapor, which can be odorlessly emitted from factories and dumps where batteries, fluorescent lamps, jewelry, paints, electrical switches and other mercury-containing products are manufactured...
