The course offerings are ample, covering a broad range of topics without the academic fluffiness of the Core. It’s annoying, though, that only one Philosophy class is cross-listed in the Core (Phil 178, “Equality and Democracy”). “Out of step” indeed. Philosophy courses are unique in their maddening, yet intriguing specificity. You’ll find this especially apparent in the 100-level classes, where the specialized interests of the professors manifest themselves...

The members of the quartet seemed destined for careers as backup singers until industry executives went looking for an antidote to the slinky, often marginally talented beauties churned out by the K-pop factory. "Their singing abilities were too good to pass up," says Park Hun Pyo, the group's manager. Their first two albums were...
Whatever the coming months hold, Bush advisers said they could safely predict there would be no more Dr. Phil--speak. The President doesn't fret in private, they say, so he won't in public. A friend said Bush hopes his ultimate legacy will be that he engaged the war on terrorism and started a multigenerational process of winning it, the way Harry Truman began winning the cold war.
