...which students learn to argue cogently about the arguments and perspectives of the readings. If they do not learn such skills here, where will they learn them? A good section is one in which students are listening to and arguing with each other. Such interchange is not as useless as O’Brien implies. To achieve it requires a good TF and students willing to do the reading, to listen to others, and to speak about the material, even if they do not understand it perfectly. If Harvard is not achieving this, we should be asking...
...Mouse House. In their wake they leave a filthy trail of Lays potato chip bags, Diet Coke cans, and enough Oscar gold to fund another CIA-backed military coup in Guatemala.Going into the details (a long, absurd capitalist saga) of the Weinstein brothers’ departure from Disney is useless at this point. Essentially, the nightmare couldn’t have lasted much longer. Money-grubbing ex-nerd testosterone receptacles like Michael Eisner were fated to have a rocky relationship with Bob & Harvey Weinstein.

Another problem is refinery capacity. Even an unlimited supply of crude is useless if it can't be refined into gasoline, heating oil and other fuels. And for the past 20 years, says Gheit, the refining industry has been losing money--or has barely made it: "[The industry was] closing refineries because they weren't profitable." That set up a situation in which a hurricane like Katrina or Rita or last year's Ivan could trigger a shortage by putting even a few of the remaining U.S.-based refineries out of business for a few weeks. Yet the industry...
