...in�Africa. Just ask Bafing Diarra, 47, who owns slightly less than 25 acres near the village of Korokoro in Mali in West Africa.

I see no reason why we had to spend two days sitting in lecture with our wet jeans plastered to our shivering thighs when we have $25.9 billion at our disposal to protect us from inconveniences like the weather. If the United States of America—which doesn’t even have an endowment—can build a shield to protect us from incoming nuclear weapons, the least we could expect from a school such as Harvard is research into the feasibility of stretching a Star Wars-esque...
