The task during the period of experimentation that is beginning is to find the best and most practicable mix of methods to help them do just that...
...first anniversary of the Duvaliers' departure, Haitians stayed off the streets, a pointed gesture of frustration that contrasted starkly with the exuberant dancing of a year ago.

In many ways, the speech by the 17-term House veteran proved more effective than the slickly produced Democratic responses of past years...
Down the hall, the newly-refurbished Nautilus room boasts a corridor-long hall of mirrors and nine "toning" machines. Here varsity athletes mix with recreational shaper-uppers. One day earlier this week, a man sporting a red "Harvard men don't stop at third base" shirt struggled with the dreaded thigh machine, while a women's lacrosse player chatted with one of the weight room regulars...
