...improve for these students as they have for lower-income students. Families making about $110,000 a year that send two children to Harvard end up nearly broke. With a considerably smaller aid award, middle-income parents are in many cases find it more difficult to maintain their standard of living than lower-income families while still paying for their children’s education. Their children end up with more debt post-Harvard than students from poorer families. And they work soulless summer jobs to meet their $2,150 summer savings obligation instead of enjoying a summer abroad. Like...
...Glitzy buildings were just the beginning. Image consultants, PR firms, advertisements are all standard in the medical world today. Hospital administration is largely concerned with the question of "how can we get more (paying) patients through here?" Few of us are surprised, of course; the market for patients is competitive and payments are thin-hospitals and doctor's practices do fail quite often.

Almost every nation that backs the U.S. against Iran going nuclear would be equally adamant against any U.S. effort to force a change of regime in Tehran. The Europeans believe that regime change, although desirable, must occur as a result of internal pressure, because - as the nuclear standoff has shown - any external threat rallies even opponents of the mullahs behind their regime, and any attack on Iran would create chaos...
After three straight years in third place, Harvard jumped to the top of Hispanic Magazine’s annual ranking of top colleges for Latinos. The Florida-based magazine’s March article balanced standard criteria from the popular college rankings by U.S. News and World Report with factors such as Hispanic enrollment rate and the number of Hispanic cultural organizations on campus, according to the article. Fellow Ivy League schools Princeton and Yale finished second and fourth respectively. Stanford, which has finished first in each of the past five years, fell to sixth on the list...
