Drugstore consumers are feeling the pain of sticker shock as never before. In the U.S., where $40 billion worth of pharmaceuticals is sold annually, the price of prescription drugs has jumped 135% over the past decade; inflation rose 53%. The same trend holds in Western Europe, another $40 billion market.

A University poster drive addressing environmental concerns would also help. Why must the Harvard community only address the most urgent...
...enduring amazement, write rarely if ever about love, and even more rarely about sex. I am, for that matter, more likely to find in my collected stacks a poem about their difficulties with their Macintosh than with their girl- or boyfriend! Where my generation's favorite bumper sticker may have been "MAKE LOVE, NOT WAR," theirs, I am virtually convinced, will in no time be, "MAKE BUCKS, NOT LOVE...
