...sense of frustration is also shared by many in East Timor's nascent middle class. Adérito de Jesus Soares (no relation to Afonso) does have a law degree, one from New York University no less. Before his nation's independence, he served as a crusading human-rights lawyer in Indonesia and helped draft East Timor's constitution. Yet today Soares doesn't practice law at home. Like most people of the post-'75 generation, Soares was educated in Indonesian and English. The country's courts, however, operate in Portuguese.

In the hopes that fewer Harvard students will have to choose between being able to socialize with friends and buying course books, we support the proposed Course-Cost Assistance Program (C-CAP).Harvard has been a national trendsetter in the area of financial aid.

Yet the gallery’s exhibition of 84 of Clergue’s prints, on display through March 15, is notable for reasons other than its mere existence. The massive assembly at once reinforces and threatens Clergue?...
...Rutan on the hybrid motor that rocketed SpaceShipOne into the history books. (Just who provided what expertise for the motor is no laughing matter. It's the center of a heated dispute between the two.) Benson, 61, is not new to new industries, having got his start in the nascent Internet world. In 1984 he created full-text indexing and search and sold Compusearch to an East Coast investment group for about $10 million. After a decade of work on satellites, he hopes to raise $50 million to mass produce the Dream Chaser. While Benson may not have the deep...
