But when asked about the hiring spike, University spokesman Kevin Galvin pointed out that the number of jobs currently available at Harvard is 30 percent less than a year ago, and that Harvard hiring is cyclical...
...Heartbeat Radio”— stand out amongst other immediately enjoyable pop music, is its deceptive simplicity.

As a result, even his choice of acoustic guitar as the basis for many of his songs—fairly typical for singer-songwriters—becomes distinctive through his unusually syncopated rhythms and complex, bluesy chords.

...packed House chamber. But as Bill Clinton - or his wife, the Secretary of State, who was sitting in the front row - could tell Obama, it's best not to get too euphoric at the way a speech can make the numbers jump. After all, Clinton got virtually the identical result the day after he gave a similar speech on his own health-care plan in that same spot 16 years ago. It turned out to be the high-water mark for an initiative that spent the next year in a drawn-out death spiral and that proved...
