...Speak Out: Mental Health at Harvard” was a success, it was not because of the awareness it created. As an editorial in The Crimson pointed out, students tend to be aware of their own mental states. In 2006, 56 percent of Harvard students reported needing mental help but not seeking it. Awareness is not the issue. Action is. Increasing student knowledge about mental health is only a useful measure because there is a support structure already in place that they can be aware about. Taken in itself, a mental health week of “Rock Concerts...
...percent, our corporate tax rate is the second highest in the developed world, so companies would suffer a tax increase. And no, they don’t deserve one. In 2005, the National Bureau of Economic Research found that when U.S. companies take on more foreign workers, they tend to hire more American workers as well. Everyone benefits from the lower prices that result from companies moving overseas. Globalization doesn’t hit only the U.S. either.

...Which brings us to March 4. Vermont has the nation's second-whitest and second-oldest electorate, the kind of demographics that tend to favor Hillary Clinton in Democratic primaries. The popular former governor Madeleine Kunin is leading the Clinton campaign in Vermont, and Chelsea Clinton came to campaign on Friday. But Barack Obama is dominating the polls. "This is a state with a strong feminist tradition, but Obama's eating Hillary's lunch," says University of Vermont political science professor Garrison Nelson. Obama created quite a stir when he visited the campus last year. "I've been here...
Most country teams can handle emergencies, but there are times when they need to call in extra specialists with health, water and sanitation expertise. So CARE taps into a global roster of its own professionals. These pros tend to be locals "who are culturally aware, can speak the language and have what it takes to operate in a given country," Giron says. For example, in 2005, CARE responded to the earthquake in Pakistan with a team from neighboring countries that was able to operate in a place that restricted the movement of women. But nearly two years...
