...that students will be able to understand fellow students’ needs. Some things on our wish-list of features, however, require official University support. Students on their own could not, for instance, produce a Web site with GPS maps of shuttle locations (see http://www.yale.transloc-inc.com for a rare pang of New Haven-safety-school jealousy) or a more intuitive course selection tool. Unless FAS IT suddenly supports a student-run portal, we can only hope that the powers that be reinvent my.harvard before it turns eight...
...discourage women from having them. But when the discouragement carries the force of law, it must be based on fact. Pain in adults is something of a mystery and a quandary; aware and articulate, we can describe what we feel - a sharp stab, a dull ache, a twinge, a pang, an agony - and yet still physicians argue over what to do and how to treat.

The ones I encountered usually showed up in the smaller communities that we visited, their expressions weary but determined as they stood in silent vigil outside whatever building in which the rally was taking place, their handmade...
...familiar, and spellable, moniker - is a highly sought speaker on the corporate lecture circuit. So before his first day of practice as the new coach of the U.S. national team, this CEO in charge of a daunting turnaround project to restore America's basketball and sporting pride felt a pang that belies his outward cool, but is familiar to even the best execs. He was scared stiff. Because it's not Duke now, I'm saying, "Will they actually listen?" explains Krzyzewski in the nasal baritone of high school chemistry teacher. It's a demeanor that deftly shades...
