...omega-3 fatty acids. The researchers emphasized two statistics related to seafood intake: a 36% decrease in the risk of death from heart disease and a 17% reduction in total mortality. Only two servings of fish a week are requisite to garner these benefits. Though this study may give relief to some, Harvard students don’t seem to have bitten the media’s fish-denouncing bait. “Student demand for seafood, especially fish, has really climbed over the last year,” said Crista Martin, assistant director of Harvard University Dining Services (HUDS...
Some of this is already beginning to happen. Megachurch pastors like Rick Warren and T. D. Jakes are wielding their enormous influence to confront AIDS, Third World debt relief, and the genocide in Darfur.

"I didn't think of it," he replied, but sensing the disingenuousness of his response--talk of a gas tax is everywhere these days, especially among high-minded policy sorts--he quickly added,"I think it's a really...
...nationally-touring comedians will be cracking jokes at Harvard next weekend to raise money for underprivileged youths in developing countries. They will appear in Comedy for a Cause, which last year raised almost $10,000 in disaster relief for victims of the earthquake in Pakistan last October. After the success of last year’s show, the Harvard Concert Commission (HCC) made the show an annual event with a different cause each year, according to HCC Promotion Chair Lauren P.S. Epstein ’07. The comedians scheduled to appear range from an Emmy Award-winning writer...
