...staff managed to avoid the issue, for the most part, in the first days of the controversy, focusing instead on the president’s public statements and whether he should apologize. But in the weeks to come, calls for the transcript among professors and the media would reach a fevered pitch and test the limits of Mass. Hall’s defiance...

There are an estimated 1.7 million Americans over age 50 addicted to drugs, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a division of the Department of Health and Human Services.

...Leader's Reach The detailed interview with Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew was quite educational and thoughtful [Dec. 12]. It was all the more interesting to read how the onetime autocratic leader of Singapore's 4 million people would like to determine the affairs of countries with more than 1 billion people. I take satisfaction in the fact that Lee's comments about radical Islam will not be read by most Muslims. Mohammad Nasir Peshawar, Pakistan...
