Well-nourished babies in Honduras look like well-nourished babies everywhere--plump, active, alert. In rural Honduran towns, there's now one more way to identify them: look for a little blue pin next to their names on one of Vicky Alvarado's healthy-eating charts. A child earning one of those is a child getting a fair shot at life...

Malkiel announced that the college was halfway toward its final goal of systematically reducing the number of A’s doled out by professors. The percentage of A-range grades issued by Princeton’s faculty fell from last year’s 46 percent to the current 40.9 percent, less than 6 percent shy of meeting the long-term goal of 35 percent...
