Pistachios are the latest nut to disappear from Harvard dining hall menus. The move comes in response to a warning issued earlier this week by the Food and Drug Administration about salmonella contamination of products from Setton Pistachios of Terra Bella, Inc. Just two months ago, Harvard University Dining Services eliminated all peanuts from their dishes in the wake of a salmonella outbreak attributed to several peanut products.

...just me or is everyone giving their dog a human name? There's a list of the most common names among policy-holders for pet insurance and the most popular dog names are Jake and Chloe and Bella - they're very similar to the names in my daughter's preschool.

She dawdles in sketching Bella's high school chums, and her direction of the dialogue will often bore those who aren't mouthing it from memory as the actors speak it. But she chose her leads wisely: the pretty Stewart is a questioning, questing presence; the Brit Pattinson, a sensitive-stud dreamboat. And Hardwicke is faithful to the book's chaste eroticism.
