...nature of Yardfest is quite different from most of the smaller club events that are located in common rooms or dining halls. The latter events, small-scale and exclusive by their nature, do little to foster school spirit. Yardfest has a proven ability to excite the student body and draw out a big audience: Around 7,100 students came out for Sara Bareilles and Ratatat last year, and about 7,000 showed up in 2008 for Wu-Tang Clan and Gavin DeGraw. With mainstream hip-hop artist Kid Cudi, known best for his hit song...

A Swiss Army knife of the skies, it's designed for vertical takeoff and landing to please the Marines and their smaller ships, while more conventional versions are slated to satisfy the demands of the Air Force and Navy. All of a sudden, however, the F-35 is in big trouble. On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates told Congress that its recent cost and schedule snafus were "unacceptable."

However, the number of seminars—which decreased relative to years past—and their relatively large size limit the benefits students can derive from such courses. Offering more seminars with smaller class sizes within the department should be a priority for the College...
...next year, participation is clearly limited to only a fraction of each class of students. Economics—the largest department at Harvard, with over 700 concentrators—is already understaffed, with large student-to-faculty ratios and unwelcomingly massive lecture courses. More seminars, with as small or smaller enrollment, should be added to supplement the curriculum of students who often do not receive the personal attention present in other departments. Indeed, the academic development of economics concentrators is especially important given the barrage of economic issues prevalent today, and students should have the privilege of having one small...
...negotiations route has a long way to go. The current deadlock suggests that Iran is unlikely to accept the terms currently on offer by the West for resolving the dispute, but that doesn't necessarily preclude any deal - Iran has floated a number of counter offers for exchanging smaller amounts of uranium or storing it on Iranian soil, but none of these has so far been acceptable to the U.S. and its allies, whose stated objective remains ending all uranium enrichment in Iran. Tehran has held firm to the principle that the NPT allows it to enrich uranium for energy...
