...Harvard was a boys’ club for centuries before women finally broke in. The disparities are not totally overcome; a forthcoming report from the Women’s Center on gender gaps in student group leadership suggests that men still tend to run the most “prestigious” student groups, defined by students themselves. But female freshmen come into the Women’s Center in their first few weeks to find a welcoming space for them as women. Full equal status has yet to come, but everyday miracles like Women’s Week...
Even before the financial and home foreclosure crisis hit full stride, the number of homeless children in America had reached an alarming level. The National Center on Family Homelessness released a report today that estimates that one in every 50 American children was homeless between 2005 and 2006. That totals roughly 1.5 million kids. While the center provided no previous statistic to compare against that figure, a study conducted with different measures published in 2000 put the total at 1.35 million children living in homelessness each year.

According to the new report, the states with the highest number of homeless children in the period studied were Texas (337,105), California (292,624), Louisiana (204,053), Georgia (58,397) and Florida (49,886). The states reporting the smallest populations of homeless children: Wyoming (169), Rhode Island (797), Vermont (1,174), North Dakota (1,181), and South Dakota (1,545). However, the report also ranks the states according to parameters that go beyond their share of homeless children, factoring in, among other things, incidence of such health conditions as asthma and tooth decay. With that framework, Connecticut, New Hampshire...
