Like Harvard, Northwestern University found it prohibitively expensive to wire its older dorms with cable for television. But while Harvard undergraduates are booking House television rooms and looking for south-facing windows to mount their satellite dishes, students at Northwestern are watching cable programming in their dorm rooms right...
...Princeton, one season after the Crimson’s overtime thriller, Carmody was gone, bolting Princeton for a head coaching position at Northwestern. When he left, Princeton’s hotshot freshman Spencer Gloger followed suit, transferring to UCLA...
Biologist Ransom Myers of Dalhousie University in Nova Scotia led a team of researchers in examining the logbooks of U.S. fishing boats operating in the northwestern Atlantic from 1986 to 2000.

"Longlines are designed to collect large marine predators," says biologist Julia Baum, lead author...

"This is their way of insisting on equitable treatment for their nominees, now and in the future." Rekindling the Pickering nomination also allows...
