Seemingly mediocre math problems that somehow trick the solver into making careless errors. Compiling lists of vocabulary words for short-term mass-memorization. The pain generated by graduate school preparation stands to be lessened considerably by changes in the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) set to take effect in a year’s time. And we wholly endorse anything that minimizes a Harvard student’s stress level. The GRE, an examination required for admission to nearly every reputable graduate program, has long been little more than a rearranged SAT with more sophisticated vocabulary and reading passages. But with...
...principal conceit of Black Hole is that a disease called "the bug" has been infecting teenagers who engage in sexual activity. But instead of causing pain or sores or even death, the infection results in freakish deformities of varying degrees. One character develops a small tail, another a second mouth at the base of his neck, and others sprout tumescent growths on the face or webbing between their digits.

...William Winkenwerder Jr., assistant defense secretary for health affairs, has said the Pentagon has taken steps to prevent a recurrence of Gulf War Syndrome. Many experts believes its myriad of symptoms- pain, fatigue, diarrhea and cognitive impairment, among others-is linked to the toxic chemical soup, including Saddam Hussein's stockpiles of nerve agents destroyed by U.S. forces, that contaminated the battlefield in the 1990-91 conflict. "We've done quite a lot more to set up preventive health systems-monitoring of soil, water, air and just ongoing monitoring of the environment to ensure as best we can that people...
