...short-term solutions to their problems, they all go to a sex cabaret called Shortbus. (Explanation of the title: back in grammar school the "normal" kids got to ride the regular-length schoolbus, while "the gifted and challenged" rode the short bus.) Among the denizens are a courtly older gent, who bears a passing resemblance to a former bachelor mayor of New York, and the cabaret's host, real-life male diva Justin Bond (aka Kiki of the Broadway duo Kiki & Herb). "It's just like the '60s," he says of the entanglement of bodies in the orgy room, "only...
...DRCLAS program is only scheduled to run this spring, and Harvard’s license is limited to one year, with no guarantee of renewal from the Treasury Department. Uncertainty over the continuation of this valuable program speaks further to the misguided aim of recent restrictions. By granting only short-term licensing, the U.S. government complicates efforts to build stable links between American universities and their Cuban counterparts. Sustained academic exchanges are critical to bringing about an atmosphere more conducive to dialogue and criticism. While students will be subject to myriad rules from both the U.S. and Cuban governments, this...

Whitesides, the Flowers University professor, and David A. Weitz, the Mallinckrodt...
...sounds like the corporate world has a spiritual yearning, it's also true that the nonprofit world feels the need to increase its marketing savvy. Earlier this year, Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO), another charity that focuses on professional volunteers, broke with its 48-year history by offering short-term placements - from two weeks to six months - rather than the standard two-year commitment. These moves are necessary to attract managers with big hearts but significant time constraints. "It's not a question of whether we wanted to professionalize or not," says Willo Brock, director of Habitat's Europe and Central...
