...biotech mecca have been receiving a great deal of attention. Even in its conceptualization phases, this seems to be the most costly road—it would involve building a completely new interdisciplinary science campus in Allston aimed at working with businesses to create a new Silicon Valley in Boston focused on biotechnology. Such proposals would associate the interests of our science departments with those of for-profit corporations to develop commercial advances. While some facets of this model are attractive, it would shift the University away from its primary goal of teaching its students and producing high-quality academic?...
...spiked to $28 a barrel, and the stock market plunged. Anti-Semites vandalized synagogues in France and Belgium. American embassies cabled Washington that they might be the next targets. And White House officials were poring over satellite pictures from the region: Syria was moving its troops in the Bekaa Valley of Lebanon in anticipation of Israeli strikes across the border.

If Summers plans to turn Cambridge-Allston into BioMed Valley, he needs more scientific expertise to back him up and iron out the details. Varmus, who did graduate work in English at Harvard, has the benefit of a broad academic background and solid reputation—in fact, his name was bantered about not so long ago for the job Summers currently holds. All the business savvy of Daniel, Harper, Houghton, Rubin and Summers doesn’t matter unless they...

Any battle in the past in which hundreds of enemy fighters were killed, compared with the loss of only eight of our own, is an overwhelming victory. As for the statement "One day, perhaps, Americans will tire of the slow drip of deaths...of the sort that old colonial powers like Britain and France once learned to endure," have you forgotten? We were savagely attacked by al-Qaeda and will not stop until we destroy them! MARTY...
