...seniors actually apply to Harvard? According to the admissions office, the 30,000-strong applicant pool for Harvard’s Class of 2014—give or take a few hundred—does not include transfer applicants. Repeated (second or multiple-time applicants) can be ignored because they are nearly negligible in number. From this pool, around 5,000 are international citizens. Dean of Admissions and Financial Aid William R. Fitzsimmons ’67 said these 5,000 students were “foreign by citizenship but any number may have applied from the United States...
Russ Whitehurst, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, says that while some schools have been promising to refund money if credit hours don't transfer to another school or if tuition increases after the first semester, he believes Lansing's get-a-job-or-your-money-back offer is a first.

...film's old-fashioned vigor, as audience's wait in vain for some big monsters-in-your-lap moment. (And it's rated PG-13 - unlike 300, its recent ancestor in the antique-Greek action genre - so the hacked-off-arm opportunities are also limited.)

But Benedict's leadership on the sex-abuse crisis - and beyond - now hinges on an earlier chapter in his career. In 1980, an admitted child-molester priest was transferred to the Munich archdiocese, which was then headed by Ratzinger. Though Church officials say the future Pope personally approved of his transfer to Munich for psychiatric counseling, they insist Ratzinger knew nothing of the green light for the abusive priest - who would eventually be convicted of other sex crimes...
...Vatican's No. 2 man and an exponent of the conspiracy-against-the-Pope perspective on the crisis. During a 30-minute interview in his modest, book-cluttered office just off St. Peter's Square, Lombardi stuck to the official line about Ratzinger's role in the Munich transfer, saying "it was normal" that the assigning of priests - even those with serious problems - was handled by deputies without the knowledge of the Archbishop. "I believe the communiqués from Munich are sufficient," he said, referring to the statements of the German church hierarchy...
