...History were a final club, History 10a and 10b would be one hell of a yearlong punch. Rough in practice but with marked reward, these two classes are the hazing in the History concentrator’s academic experience. Required of all concentrators until the 2006-2007 school year, both are Western history survey courses that cover thousands of years–in just one year.

The difference, Vila concluded, was largely due to lax anesthesia procedures. In an extreme example...
...those who invest in Ghana, the going can be rough. In 1993, Mona Boyd and her Ghanaian husband rented out their brownstone in Boston and moved to Ghana. They created Land Tours Ghana, a business specializing in guiding tourists through the country. Boyd, 55, now Land Tour's CEO, had visited Ghana before but had never done business in the country. She found that her go-go, type-A American personality was a poor fit with the laid-back spirit of most Ghanaians...
