...difference is that we'd be telling people not just about a particular credit card's characteristics but about what those characteristics mean in terms of human behavior. It would be similar to Federal Trade Commission rules that require auto manufacturers to say how many miles per gallon cars get whether a person is driving in the city or in the country. Depending on a person's behavior, the cost changes - and that is made clear right on the sticker. (See pictures of stores that are no more...
Though nothing in particular stood out at the Cabot/Pfoho formal, guests dolled up in above-the-knee dresses and well-cut tuxes left the great white tent on Moors Terrace slightly tipsy and reasonably satisfied. The food and drink selection were mediocre, the décor lovely but not especially memorable, and the music—let's just say DJ Strauss made for easy (and impassioned) conversation come Tuesday morning...
Historically at Harvard, when school expertise in a particular area either does not exist or is not available within reasonable time constraints, outside consultants have been used to fill the gap. Last year, the FAS spent nearly $10 million on external consultants. Instead FAS will utilize the expertise available within the University to accomplish such tasks.

Only in rare cases when required expertise simply does not exist within the University will outside consultants be used...

Nullification is a rare occurrence in the American judicial system...
