...much higher percentages of international students on the rolls, and these places don't stake a claim to "diversity" with even half the zeal that Harvard displays. Since comparable institutions like MIT, Boston University and Canada's McGill University all have significantly greater foreign student populations, in terms of sheer numbers as well as a proportion of the undergraduate population, one must conclude that Harvard isn't as diverse as it could...
...moment he received his alto sax to his final moments lying on the stage, his performance brilliantly portrayed the ups and downs of a musicians life. Accompanying Bird were his fellow musicians: trumpet, tenor, piano, bass and drum. Particularly notable was Trumpet, danced by Matthew Rushing.

You don't need to take off your socks to figure that a stock gain of merely $1--a slam dunk for any company that is not soundly asleep...
...does nothing to stop the spinal nerves from reacting. In the early 1990s, Basbaum's team showed that the spinal cord triggers a cascade of chemical and electrical signals during an operation. Once the brain comes out of its anesthesia-induced fog, it translates all this electrochemical activity into sheer agony...
