...concentrators until the 2006-2007 school year, both are Western history survey courses that cover thousands of years–in just one year. Much like the curriculum and readings, the makeup of the classes tends to be composed primarily of white males. History 10a is the paradigm for many students’ larger intellectual gripes about Harvard: the class covers too much, too hastily and too broadly. The lecturing is split up between three professors who vary in quality, and students complain that by the end of the semester, 10a is a better venue to grab a power...
...Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Syria--not a democracy among them. For all the carping about Bush's policies, no one has really offered a credible alternative to liberalization as a cure for what ails the region. It hardly seems tenable to go back to the pre-9/11 paradigm of wholeheartedly supporting "friendly" dictators like Egypt's Hosni Mubarak and the Saudi royal family. If our support for the Shah of Iran in the 1970s or Yasser Arafat in the '90s has taught us anything, it should be that secular strongmen cannot keep the lid on forever. Either...

"Star Trek is that situated learning paradigm at its prime," says Williams, referring to the way that the holodeck was used for education and simulation (like "when they wanted to go to war with the Klingons," she says). Thus, Williams, who is also a speech language pathologist, wanted to create a virtual reality system that enabled speech therapy...
...climate for such deals owes much to Tokyopop and its aggressive development of a new paradigm. It moved manga from comics shops to mainstream booksellers. "Tokyopop created what is known as the authentic Japanese manga," says Reid. Tokyopop insisted the books read from back to front so as not to compromise the original artwork and spelled Japanese sound effects phonetically. It changed the books' dimensions to mass-market paperback size (about 200 pages) but stuck to a $10 price--about an hour's worth of babysitting...
