...curricula so as to be consistent with the logistical requirements of Core courses, which include that courses have midterm and final examinations. (We humbly remind professors who prefer to give a final paper that a final exam need not be a three-hour examination; in our book, a brief unit test would suffice, too.)The effects of more departmental courses that are cross-listed as Core courses will not be substantially different than the effects we envision after the implementation of the General Education proposal. Students will benefit from taking more rigorous departmental courses, although a few departmental courses...

Once a container arrives at a terminal, it would have to pass through a nonintrusive inspection unit equipped to detect radiation, interrogate the sensors installed in the box and create a CAT-scan-style image of its contents.

On Friday, the Americans fell in a semifinal shocker to Sweden, 3-2, in a shootout. The result, which will have long-term reverberations in women’s hockey, was surely the sport’s biggest upset ever on the international stage. Since...

Even South Africa, the nation best equipped to respond to bird flu, faces "a lot of other health issues" competing for resources, says Dr. Lucille Blumberg, head of the epidemiology and outbreak unit at the National Institute for Communicable Diseases. Referring to AIDS, she notes: "We already have an epidemic here that's killing hundreds of people a day."
