Unfortunately, injuries will make it impossible for a number of Harvard players to take advantage of this opportunity. Junior Co-Captain Melissa McNabb and sophomore Cisca Mok will not return until the spring, while a hip injury to senior Rachel Pollack may restrict her play time...
...name of science, angers people who view tombs as inviolate resting places. University of Minnesota bioethicist Arthur Caplan is worried that the "Peeping Toms of forensics" are out of control. "If we don't want to devalue the past," he says, "then we're going to have to restrict the access of those who can rummage through it."

Tariffs and quotas cost each U.S. family an average of about $800 a year. Low-income households suffer more because they spend a greater share of their earnings on food and clothing, two of the most rigidly controlled imports.
