...required logic course because the material is too technical. "It was mathematics, not humanities. We just learned to work with mathematical systems and equations," James L. Matory '82, who switched from Philosophy to Social Anthropology after one semester, says.

...spring has exploded with more than a dozen heist-and-ransom adventures whose plots range from setting the North Sea oilfields afire to capturing U.S. nuclear plants. In one, a team of thugs heists Manhattan, no less; in another, Muslim-backed bullyboys hold Queen Elizabeth II hostage.
