...education, Phelan implemented an unorthodox structure for the department. She increased the number of professional artists who served as visiting scholars, encouraged student projects and sought to bring to VES the atmosphere of a world-class art school. Her efforts to recruit faculty, fundraise for lectures and exhibitions, and obtain scarce studio space for students and visiting artists alike have led to the wide recognition of Harvard’s VES department as offering one of the most innovative undergraduate studio art program of liberal arts schools in the country...
...signed. The treaty had relied for deterrence on the absence of missile defenses—and thus a guarantee of mutual destruction after any first strike—to keep the peace between the U.S. and the Soviet Union. But in an age when dictators like Saddam Hussein could obtain nuclear weapons, a rogue state could launch an attack and might just be crazy enough to accept the horrible consequences.

Human rights groups and AIDS activists considered the case a landmark in their efforts to obtain medication for millions in developing countries...

After a night in Kratie (there are several basic hotels, all less than $10), it's seven hours to Stung Treng. An American visitor in the 1920s described the town as "a savage little poem," and there is little to see. But you must stop to obtain permission to cross the border, either from the immigration office ($1) or the Sekong Hotel ($20, but hassle-free). The last three hours to the border are by outboard-powered dug-out. The going is slow but the pace affords fine views of the delta at its most pristine. The thick jungle harbors...
