...recommendations call for the Core to be replaced by a set of distributional requirements and new survey classes, a one-semester delay in the concentration choice deadline, increased emphasis on the sciences and international experiences, as well as a possible switch to a Yale-style housing system that would assign first-years to an upperclass House before entering the College...
...arguing it has an “alarming resemblance to the general education requirements” of two generations ago, with its proposal to replace the Core with a combination of departmental distribution requirements and the so-called Harvard College Courses, a set of as-yet-undefined broad interdisciplinary survey courses.

Ed Sparkman of the National Insurance Crime Bureau thinks newer autos are less attractive to thieves since carmakers now include better antitheft devices. Consumers looking...
...threat but as a business opportunity. It's too soon to tell if it's working, but there's at least one hopeful sign. For the first three quarters of 2003, there was no increase in obesity among adult Americans, according to preliminary data from the National Health Interview Survey...
