...industry abandoned its lawsuit against South Africa, opening the way for the country to import cheaper anti-AIDS drugs and other patented medicines. Giving in to a groundswell of opposition in a country where an estimated 4.7 million people are HIV positive, the 39 drug companies gave up the three-year patent protection battle. Human rights groups and AIDS activists considered the case a landmark in their efforts to obtain medication for millions in developing countries...
Shelton and his colleagues acknowledge that theirs is not the final word. That could come before the end of the year when the National Institutes of Health completes a larger, three-year study that will meet one of the criticisms of the Vanderbilt trial. Instead of simply dividing patients into two groups--one on St. John's wort, the other on a placebo--the NIH study has a third group taking a prescription antidepressant. What should people who are using St. John's wort or thinking about it do until then? "Hold off," says Shelton, and consider...
Neither Bingham nor MacAusland recalls which of them named their group. It's almost as if some deity simply declared "Let there be 'Episcopal Power & Light,'" and there was Episcopal Power & Light. In a three-year altar-to-altar crusade, they persuaded 30 churches and hundreds of households to buy clean electricity from a company called Green Mountain Energy, only to watch their work--and Green Mountain's nearly 60,000 California customers--smote by deregulation's failure...
Sure, PSLM has made some mistakes in its three-year campaign for a living wage. Greeting President-elect Lawrence H. Summers with a contentious rally from the get-go wasn’t a great idea, and the sit-in’s first few days—with sleep-deprived Yard residents raising a ruckus and a daytime rally accidentally drowning out a Holocaust Remembrance Day reading nearby—seemed to only hurt the campaign, not help it. But over the past five days the tide turned, with the protesters gaining the support of both Massachusetts senators...
Most first-years take predominantly Cores and introductory classes, making educated decisions about academic futures difficult. Basic data for each concentration, such as average class size (especially for introductory courses), concentration requirements and three-year retention rates need to be readily available. Explanation of each concentration’s curriculum, tutorial program, alternative study options (such as study abroad or independent study) and thesis schedule are also pertinent. This information will help students decide which concentration among similar choices best fits their intellectual interests. The availability of this information online as well as in print would be ideal, as many...
