...current policies be changed? There is a fairly painless short-term possibility. Every student who lives in University housing is required to purchase a 21-meal plan package.

Also, you may have class or have to work through lunch or even practice through dinner. The point is, no one eats all 21 meals. Harvard Dining Services has stated that its budget is based on the assumption that students will eat an average of only 14 meals. Nevertheless...

...Moscow reported that Boris Yeltsin was undergoing a normal follow-up to his 1996 heart-bypass surgery. In fact, he underwent a sophisticated new heart scan called a C.T.-angiography, a painless, noninvasive test that is less risky than a conventional angiogram and that can be performed only with a scanner created by Imatron, a San Francisco-based company.

...Administration's dismal record on the recent trade bill proved that banking on the economy is not enough. So the campaign to convince the country that the treaty's targets are reasonable and relatively painless will begin next month. President Clinton's budget proposal will include $5 billion in tax incentives and research grants aimed at spurring businesses toward energy efficiency, even without being bound by a treaty. The White House is also hoping that new advances in technology--say, refrigerators that can run on the energy it takes to burn a light bulb--will help make the treaty seem...
