...entire entryway in Eliot House was left homeless late Saturday night after a prankster sprayed a fire extinguisher, flooding the entryway with powdery chemicals and leaving students searching for a place to sleep for the night. Cambridge firefighters responded to an alarm in Eliot’s D entryway at around 2 a.m. yesterday, causing residents to gather outside the building. After about 30 minutes outside, tutors informed the residents of D entryway that they would not be allowed back into their rooms—and told a frigid crowd that any student found in the closed entryway would...
...the toughest things I do as a physician is deal with uncertainty. Doctors are often only as good as their diagnostic tests, and those tests aren't perfect.

The tools also can help teach the public how to weigh risk factors, said University of Pennsylvania Prof. Dean Foster, co-author of another calculator. "How good is excercise or how bad is smoking?" Foster asks. "Would you walk a mile...
...Ignatieff may have been harmed by several campaign gaffes, including a series of contorted positions on Israel's summer bombing campaign in Lebanon. He stated that he wouldn't "lose any sleep" over collateral damage that included the death of several Lebanese infants, then subsequently declared that Israel had committed war crimes. The blunders demonstrated the uncomfortable reality that although he is a gifted intellectual, his political instincts have never been honed. Ignatieff ended his campaign by stirring up a hornet's nest with his support for a call to recognize Quebec as a "nation" within Canada, and spent...
