...coat. The course mostly consists of a weekly marathon eight-hour lab. There, graduate student TFs patiently guide clumsy undergrads through the ins and outs of stirring, pouring, clamping, filtering, and cannulating (nothing too raunchy, don’t worry). Having Chem 135 tucked into your academic pocket protector is an indication to most professors that you can handle their lab research—and you can. Between sophomore and junior years, most concentrators begin looking for a lab to work part time in for course credit. Don’t limit yourself to Mallinckrodt Hall, either: opportunities abound...
...Indeed, for many of them, Syria's capital is a temporary way station, a one-horse stopover on the way overseas. Others are determined to ride out the war in the relative safety offered by the Assad regime. The government, eager to bolster its image as a benevolent protector of the Lebanese people, has sponsored refugee relief centers throughout the city. There, Syria's new guests can pick up staples like bedsheets and bottled water, and sign up with the Ministry of Labor for help finding work.

The script is ever the same: the White House asserts it is the protector of our security; the press maintains it is the guardian of our liberty. * The stories in the New York Times and other newspapers about the government's highly classified program to monitor bank records have provoked outrage from the White House. President George W. Bush called them "disgraceful" and said...
...Teen Detainees I am truly appalled at how the U.S.-the self-proclaimed protector of democracy and human rights-continues to violate basic human rights at Guantánamo Bay [June 5]. What acute danger did 15-year-old Omar Khadr pose that warranted his detention with adults? If there is evidence, then put him on trial; otherwise, release him! It is a scandal and just unbelievable that the detainees, who may not be terrorists, do not get a trial, have no rights and have no prospect of the situation changing. How can the world just sit there and watch...
