Plus, the thrill of taking a class in Sanders and arguing about things that “really matter”—often focusing around the rights of the individual versus the convenience of the masses—will stoke your intellect. Having a professor who served on President Bush’s Council for Bioethics is pretty cool too. It is taught every other year, so including it into your schedule may take some planning.

For example, he more than doubled the target for current-account deposits held by financial institutions...
...sorry to say"? Maybe. I miss the regularity of the shock value in their early selections. The last few Asian Film Festivals have been more like real film festivals, with selections that have won best-picture prizes in their home countries, or are meant to stoke an audience?s warmer emotions. Nice movies, which U.S. filmgoers already have enough of, thanks...
