...conventional scheme. On the contrary, the uniqueness of our calendar is part of what makes it so problematic. Many summer jobs and internships begin in early or mid-May, the time when most schools let out. Because most Harvard students must wait until late May to leave, we often miss a good deal of enriching summer experiences. Moreover, while most schools start classes in early September, we begin much later in the month, making it difficult to cross-register with MIT or other colleges or graduate schools that have a “normal” schedule. Aligning our schedules...
...public. Curtis told her students they would be graded on three class papers and class participation, with each counting 25% of the final grade. Dowd received a C-plus and C-minus on two papers before the case came to light. He received an F in class participation for missing the last month of class, according to an email Curtis sent to Dowd.

An odd thing to own, I would have thought, especially if you're a married man and therefore do not need to meet girls. "Where are these hotspots?" I asked my wife, perhaps in what she leapt to conclude was a wistful tone, for her answer was, "I notice she hasn't been showing up around here...
...wouldn't say that I'm an alcoholic," said Miss U., "I think that would be pushing the envelope." Is that how we use that expression these days? And she wept in gratitude, as the corporate envelope closed around her. After a suitable therapeutic interval she'll be fit to show up at all the boat shows and smile, but if she kicks up her heels she'll be proving she's in denial, as witches used to prove themselves witches by insisting they weren...
