...these activities don’t even begin to capture the effect of Harvard University on the rest of the world. The professors here run labs that research cures to diseases ranging from diabetes to Alzheimer’s, while many students train for high-level positions in government and will shape public policy in the coming decades...
...Yong, 54, was one of roughly 15,000 prisoners at Kaechon in the late 1990s, and he is one of the lucky ones.

Less savvy travelers now have to shell out the equivalent of $100 for the joys of being stuck in west London's traffic. The New York Times recently reported that Irish immigrants to the U.S. who had decided to return home were discovering that their dollar savings didn...
