Only 1 percent of the United States’ undergraduates study abroad; over 75 percent of them pick a program that lasts fewer than 12 weeks, and so Harvard’s “study abroad problem,” if I might call it that, is also a national issue. And even though study abroad is increasing, in a large part thanks to Congress’ 2006 push for students to go abroad, many cram programs into summer vacations, eager to experience international education but unwilling to sacrifice an academic semester in the States...

Berry nearly had an interception in the endzone and Williams leapt to deflect a potential 40-yard completion to a seemingly open receiver.

Yasuo Fukuda, an LDP Diet member who'd disappeared into the background in recent years, leads LDP Secretary-General - and erstwhile front-runner - Taro...
