At the time, Harvard decided to halt procurement of materials for future construction and potentially reduce the number of workers on site. University officials have said they will make a decision about whether to proceed with the project in December...
...points of contention between the two countries. It has for the first time officially recognized Lebanese sovereignty, by opening a Syrian embassy in Beirut.

Undergraduates said they were interested in using Rosetta Stone to practice languages for travel. Marino F. Auffant ’10 was one of those students. Auffant signed up for Rosetta Stone?...
