...round Boston’s skyscrapers. “The buildings act like a mountain range,” pilot Philip Greenspun explained as the helicopter circled the John Hancock Tower, “so it’s natural to experience some turbulence.” Since he obtained his pilot’s licence in 2001, Greenspun—a computer science affiliate at MIT—said he has logged over 2,000 hours of flight time including a flight from Los Angeles to Alaska. The rotors of the helicopter stirred up clouds of snow...
...failed to address the national shortage of clean water. Much of the blame lies with India’s poorly managed central distribution system, a relic of British colonial rule. Because the government fails at providing a 24-hour water supply even in its capital New Delhi, most Indians obtain their water through other means like tube-wells or groundwater pumps. But even these rudimentary sources have been nearly exhausted. A 2005 World Bank report warned that if the government maintains its current policies, in 20 years the country will face a water crisis with violent regional clashes over...

Currently, professors submit the ISBN numbers to the Coop, but those numbers are often unavailable to students in the course and cannot always be found through the HOLLIS catalog. Students should have the opportunity to obtain their books as inexpensively as possible. Textbooks typically cost a student hundreds of dollars each semester, and the Undergraduate Council (UC) has estimated that open access to book information could collectively save students as much at $1.3 million each year. Student efforts to compile this information have repeatedly been blocked...
