...earnestly appeal to you to create a Task Force to investigate this and to recommend possible remedies. We would hope that in addition to faculty and present day students you would invite onto such a Task Force representatives of the alumni representation from earlier, less laid back days...
...week, Al Gore and the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will travel to Oslo to collect their Nobel Prize for their efforts to build awareness of, and combat climate change. Though they will collect a prize worth well over a million US dollars, we could imagine no better present that the United States government could give them than the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol, the decade-old international treaty designed to limit emissions and pollution that cause global warming.

Ebola symptoms are also vague, and health officials did not suspect the virus was present until it hit its epidemic stride. Meanwhile, local populations have been burying deceased but infected relatives without protection. Usually, infected corpses are covered in plastic before they are buried...
