...recent revelation that reported cases of chlamydia on campus have increased dramatically should serve as a wake-up call to Harvard students. We may do well academically, but it takes more than intelligence to change behavior. In the delicate realm of sexual activity, Harvard students seem to be on a dismal par with their peers, mirroring a national trend of increases in the number of reported cases of chlamydia.

They represent just the latest swing in a highly emotional market that for three years has thrived on alternating fears about which way the economy would grow: too fast or too slow. As long as the pendulum doesn't swing too far in one direction, your nest...
