...strong precedent of diverse events for seasons to come. In this regard, the OFA is the ideal theater operator as its obligation is to promote the wellbeing of all arts disciplines at Harvard. In its previous incarnation the building was used only by the Hasty Pudding Club and a select few other organizations. We hope that students and faculty alike take full advantage of the opportunities the theatre now affords...
...leverage over Sudan and Burma is particularly limited. In 1997 Congress protested Khartoum's brutal tactics in southern Sudan by barring select Sudanese companies from involvement in the U.S. financial system. The same year, Congress punished the Burmese junta's "severe repression" by prohibiting U.S. investments in Burma. These measures have left the U.S. with few remaining business or diplomatic ties to terminate...
...contemporary maestros like Govind Nihalani and Shyam Benegal. Critic Chakravorty says the new brand of cinema caters to the viewer who is exposed to art house but also enjoys Bollywood.

Lack of oversight means lack of policing, which often leads to underreporting of potentially fatal accidents. Labs are required by law to report mishaps with select agents immediately to the CDC, but that doesn't always happen.

The university did not report the case and may never have admitted it if an industry gadfly, Edward Hammond of the Sunshine Project, had not persuaded a local district attorney to strong-arm the university into giving up its internal records...
Responding to intense criticism, the CDC is looking into forming external peer review panels to re-examine select-agent regulations and lab-safety procedures. The agency may also modify reporting requirements - possibly allowing some measure of anonymity, for example, to minimize disincentives for revealing accidents. "This is a relatively young program [which] is providing much improved oversight, but clearly there is more than we can do," says Richard Besser, director for the CDC's Coordinating Office for Terrorism Preparedness and Emergency Response, who defends the recent lab expansion in the U.S., saying it will lead to better diagnostics and make...
