...studies are needed, he says, "because as we learn to manipulate dream content, we can start to figure out what the rules are that the brain uses in selecting material for our dreams." Though not sold on the memory-consolidation theory, the Dream & Nightmare Laboratory's Nielsen sees merit in it. Of course, if dreaming does embed memories it's doing it in ways we don't understand, he says. "Perhaps memory needs to be sliced and diced and then reassembled in odd ways in order for consolidation to be maximized...
...impossible and harmful to the people of Sudan. Our policy is narrowly tailored to ensure that only companies that are funding the genocide and doing nothing to stop it—just like Petrochina and Sinopec—are targeted. Harvard has already decided two companies of this type merit divestment for their role in the genocide; we are merely asking them to extend this policy to other similar companies. We agree that extensive research and shareholder engagement should occur before any company is targeted for divestment, but campus advocacy need not occur every time...
...Normally, vanished intelligence officers barely merit one short paragraph on page eight. Asgari is different, though. As the IRGC commander in Lebanon in the late '80s and early '90s, he knows dirty secrets, secrets that could be used to justify going to war with Iran.

In her first year, Pillsbury scored above a 4.5 CUE rating and won an award for her teaching. “Leah obviously knows the material really well, and she’s still in college so she also relates...
...does business in Sudan, one year later, it had $10.1 million directly invested in the two companies. According to its the latest federal filing, Harvard owned $15.7 million of the two companies as of the end of last year through mutual funds. If the original investment was enough to merit divestment, this surely is, so Harvard should drop this stock immediately.We disagree, however, with the idea of a strict, preemptive policy rule. Harvard has only divested a few times in its history, and for good reason. As Interim President Derek C. Bok pointed out in a 1979 open letter that...
