...praises, and there is one small part of the Harvard administration that deserves nothing but I came here (like all high school students) disliking gays for, as we called them, "homes.") I leave with a profound respect for their courage, because I got to know enough to share their pain and pride. I came here avoiding preppies, and leave firm in the knowledge that there are as many upper crushers worth knowing as not. "Diversity" wins more lip service than any other of the University's selling points; still and all, a lot of people talk about how much they...

...mistakes early on as a result of not knowing how to make Harvard work, how to get this big institution to provide you with the education and lifestyle that you are paying for. Poor advising does not teach anyone a lesson. It imparts to the student nothing but unnecessary pain...

Aspirin, however, remains the treatment of choice. The trouble is that in order to suppress inflammation as well as pain, aspirin often must be taken in megadoses-15 to 20 tablets a day. At such levels, it can cause stomach distress, ulcers and hemorrhaging.

Feldene and Oraflex both work like aspirin in that they block the release of certain prostaglandins, hormone-like substances that contribute to pain and swelling. Perhaps in an effort to distinguish its product from Pfizer's, Lilly makes the additional claim that Oraflex may actually slow the progression of the disease. The claim is based on preliminary research showing that Oraflex inhibits the migration of macrophages, a type of white blood cell, to the inflamed joint. Macrophages ordinarily defend the body against foreign invaders, but in some forms of arthritis they appear to attack the body, destroying bone...
