Economics concentrators have some reason to celebrate now that Harvard has reinstated the department’s junior seminars. After cutting the program from this year’s curriculum due to financial circumstances, the College is adding six seminars over the next academic year, each with a maximum of 18 students. While this is a positive move overall, economics concentrators would benefit from additional changes to the program...

And despite President Obama keeping the proverbial "all options" on the table, the U.S. military leadership is opposed to trying to resolve the nuclear standoff by force: Bombing Iran's facilities would likely only set back its nuclear program by a few years (and make weaponization more likely), goes the reasoning, at a cost of a possibly starting a calamitous...
