...independently of student concerns. “A decision [was] based on the fact that the readings for the remainder of the course are better suited to a two-hour discussion in our two-hour sections,” Kline wrote in an e-mail. Lackluster attendance is not uncommon in Harvard’s large lectures. Salvador A. Pelayo ’09 said that around half of the students in Life Sciences 1a, “An Integrated Introduction to the Life Sciences: Chemistry, Molecular Biology, and Cell Biology,” this semester attend the lectures...
There have been exceptions, albeit uncommon, to the rule of silence among military leaders. Former Army Chief of Staff General Shinseki, when challenged to offer his professional opinion during prewar congressional testimony, suggested that more troops might be needed for the invasion's aftermath.

Last June, just before he threw the green flag at the NASCAR event at Pocono Raceway...
...revolution in the 1970s by trumpeting fresh ingredients above all. Twenty years later, Batali performed a neat trick. He made the revolution feel young and hip again--he was just 32 when P opened--and his respect for traditional Italian cuisine also lent his food a sense of history uncommon to American restaurant fare; Batali has always said most of his dishes are mere reinventions of old--in some cases ancient--Italian recipes...
