...significant portion of their Thanksgiving break studying for their exam. Students who are not at Harvard will not have the advantage of studying with others. Moreover, if questions arise while they are studying, there will be no way of answering them before the exam. Normally, teaching fellows hold review sessions for one or two nights before an exam. Since the exam is preceded by a long holiday, it is unlikely that students will have commenced studying or be prepared to ask critical questions if review sessions are offered before the break...
...review some basic economics (if you've taken Ec 10, keep reading, because I don't think they taught us any of this). If a country wants to be prosperous it must produce goods and services that people want. In the short run, it can produce only for its own market, but in the long run the country must export its production to other countries if it wants to increase its standard of living.

In 1988, after Beloved had been passed over by judges for the National Book Awards and the National Book Critics Circle, a group of 48 black authors signed and sent a letter to the New York Times Book Review complaining that Morrison had never won an NBA or a Pulitzer Prize. The gesture was well meant but unfortunate. Two months later, when Beloved received the Pulitzer -- based on merit, the judges insisted, not the public protest -- the honor could hardly fail to be perceived, at least in some quarters...
...China relations have been troubled since the Tiananmen crackdown in 1989, but have grown markedly worse since last spring when China's most- favored-nation trading status came up for review in Washington. Though the Clinton Administration pushed through renewal of MFN status for a year, the decision was conditioned on significant improvements on the human-rights front. While Chinese citizens enjoy considerably more personal freedom today than they did three or four years ago, on-and-off repression of dissidence keeps the human-rights issue alive. Another major irritant was introduced last August when the U.S. imposed...
