...habits (especially ones with the short-term thrill that procrastination possesses) die hard. But if sufficiently motivated, the procrastinator can suck it up and take the plunge this reading period (all those exams and papers will drive an unproductive soul to desperate measures) and go up against the mother of GW haunts: Cabot library...

Sure, the researchers managed to generate a little buzz in the local press when groups like Green Korea United blasted them for meddling with Mother Nature. But around the world (and especially in the U.S.), their claim to fame was overwhelmed by colliding headlines about impeachment and cruise missiles...
