...impressive array of environmental courses under the Center for the Environment and is introducing courses this year like the Science of Energy, along with a handful of freshman seminars that focus on sustainability. But Harvard still lacks a cohesive undergraduate program for students to pursue these interests. In sharp contrast, students at Princeton can obtain a certificate in Sustainable Energy, and, down the river, MIT offers a minor in Energy...
Tymoshenko, meanwhile, has built her campaign around promises of a sharp crackdown on embezzling bureaucrats and the oligarchs who have used their political influence to circumvent the law and take control of much of the economy. She blames Yushchenko's "weakness" for the rampant lawlessness. "He didn't stand the test of power," she told TIME in an interview in December. Tymoshenko says she will display no such timidity.

That emotional unbuttoning is something the actress...
...Kabul has been battered by bomb blasts over the last several months - including an Oct. 28 attack on a U.N. guesthouse that left 11 people dead - but Monday's attack represented a sharp escalation in the violence. Farida Nekzad, an Afghan journalist based in Kabul, told TIME that the insurgents targeted places frequented by foreign diplomats and ordinary civilians alike. Authorities said several insurgents stormed the Ferushgah shopping center and ordered people to get out before firing shots from the roof and then setting the building ablaze. Other militants reportedly struck a movie theater, a hotel popular with Westerners...
