...SUVs," says TIME environment editor Charles Alexander. While the new gas and emissions requirements will cost consumers a little bit more at the pump (estimates vary between 2 and 6 cents a gallon) and at the car dealerships (about $200 for the extra equipment), the bulk of the outlay will be borne by oil refiners and automakers.

This year in its "Report of Giving" Radcliffe has concealed much of its administrative outlay under a heading of "programs and financial aid." I believe a more accurate accounting of overhead would show administrative costs of close to 50 percent, or about twice the normal expectation for a nonprofit institution. Let us hope that the undergraduate ghost gets laid to rest before too much more...
