...Public health could suffer. Rising seas would contaminate water supplies with salt. Higher levels of urban ozone, the result of stronger sunlight and warmer temperatures, could worsen respiratory illnesses. More frequent hot spells could lead to a rise in heat-related deaths. Warmer temperatures could widen the range of disease-carrying rodents and bugs, such as mosquitoes and ticks, increasing the incidence of dengue fever, malaria, encephalitis, Lyme disease and other afflictions. Worst of all, this increase in temperatures is happening at a pace that outstrips anything the earth has seen in the past 100 million years. Humans will have...
Discrimination affects the half-black children most deeply, but the lighter-skinned Eurasians suffer also. Other students know these kids' mothers are probably prostitutes, and schoolyard taunts reflect that open secret. "I don't want them talking bad about my mother," says Bryan Enders, an 11-year-old whose American father died of cirrhosis of the liver two years ago. "But I can't say anything, because they will beat me up." Even the teachers sometimes pitch in, blaming the biracial students for fomenting classroom dissent. "They act up more than others," says Juanita de la Cruz, who has five...

Similarly, studies indicate that children raised without sufficient nurturing often suffer from cognitive deficiencies. However, no evidence indicates that a lot of attention, in the form of early and constant stimulation, enhances a child's intellectual growth. According to the current scientific literature, the type and amount of stimulation needed for proper childhood development is already built into the normal life...
...indeed, the very purpose of the sit-in was to leverage possession of Massachusetts Hall into influence over University policy. Differences with the administration over the living wage should be addressed through efforts to convince, not to compel. PSLM is now attempting to make the administration and University community suffer until its demands are met. We cannot condone the use of this sort of coercive engagement on this issue...
...prepared for any repercussions,” their claim to deserve immunity simply because they are “acting to make [Harvard] a better university” brings into question their commitment. Part of the purpose of protest is to indicate depth of feeling and willingness to suffer for the cause; if the consequences of missed classes are more important than raising workers’ wages, then a sit-in was a bad idea from the start. The circus-like atmosphere of the protest, complete with drums and fire-eaters, has given students even less reason to respect...
