Only a targeted divestment policy can achieve successes like this; a company-by-company approach, which only pursues companies after they have done wrong, simply cannot. Fifty student groups, 1,285 Harvard affiliates, and 33 faculty, instructors, and fellows—including Stanley Hoffman, Martha Minow, and Pulitzer Prize-winner Samantha Power—have called for targeted divestment. We hope that the Corporation Committee on Shareholder Responsibility will adopt a targeted divestment policy as a step toward changing corporate behavior in the Sudan...
...pity that Sturges and Hutton made only this film together. But her mentor, DeSylva, was Sturges' tormentor (on TCM Hutton says that "Buddy didn't like him because he didn't hit schedules") and soon hounded Paramount's prize writer-director off the lot.

BEFORE MAGNETIC RESONANCE imaging (MRI) became standard in the 1980s, doctors had two ways of looking inside the human body: the not-always-precise X-ray, which exposed patients to radiation, and surgery. Physicist Paul Lauterbur, a co-winner of the 2003 Nobel Prize, helped pioneer the use of MRI technology-- previously used largely to examine chemical structures of substances--to obtain clear, detailed images of human tissue. Doctors now prescribe more than 60 million MRI exams annually...
...more like paparazzi time. But this year, under the helm of Robert Storr, former curator at New York's Museum of Modern Art, the serious appraisal of art should win out. And for Australian artists, there's the best chance yet of a coveted Golden Lion or best-pavilion prize...
