...study to comprehensively trace the long-term link between dietary sodium levels and cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death in the U.S. The mortality rate was also slightly lower in the group that reduced sodium intake, although not statistically significant.

The existing Core Curriculum has been much resented by students and faculty, because new courses are approved through a vast spider-like apparatus of committees, and existing courses are rarely reviewed. To carry out the new general education system as well as other promised reforms, we should allow maximum space for pedagogical creativity. Rather than tell all course heads they need to follow set formats—for exams, assignments, course scheduling, sections, and so forth—why not ask periodically for evidence that instructional goals are clear and that students are learning and finding the course worthwhile...
