...year after Harvard declared an end to its early admissions program, it seems that few institutions of higher learning are following suit. Approximately 65 percent of the 322 institutions surveyed by Kaplan Test Prep and Admissions have early admissions programs, and 99.5 percent of these schools plan to keep their early programs for the foreseeable future, according to the survey released last month. “We surveyed what is generally regarded as the top 300 schools,” said Brandon P. Jones ’00, the national director of SAT and ACT programs for Kaplan. He said...
...Fung Stories was followed by 1994's Flying Over Childhood - a childless man's deeply empathetic survey of Hong Kong's young (and with an English title, Growing Up in Hong Kong, that doesn't capture the playful poetry of the original). In 1997, he published what was to be his last collection, A Hundred Changes (again, poorly translated from Chinese as City Vibrance).

...always changing itself, reflecting current tastes and redirecting current tastes. On TIME.com this week, I've assembled a list of All-TIME 100 TV shows.

...June 2006. Scalzo outlined the company's plans to spend at least $10 million expanding the farm's pasture, enabling cows to graze at the same time. But by that visit, Cornucopia had already embarked on its report card project - and had mailed Horizon and other farms its survey with 19 questions, ranging from how many cows were on a farm to whether they were treated with antibiotics. Scalzo says Horizon declined to participate in the survey because it "was unprofessional and unscientific." Cornucopia gave Horizon a "one cow" rating, deeming it "ethically challenged...
