...pretends that even with these results malaria is anywhere near beaten. Two more years of testing followed by the bureaucratic labyrinth of the approval process - to say nothing of the logistical headache of actually getting a vaccine to the people who need it - means millions more are still almost certain to die. For that reason the World Health Organization and other groups are stepping up their push to deliver pesticides and mosquito-resistant bed nets across Africa. Those efforts by themselves have rolled back parasite prevalence by 50% in Zambia. Add that to an even imperfect vaccine...
...written especially for Sommerville, for the second straight year. Sommerville played the one-movement concerto with mastery and confidence.

The UC has a responsibility to educate students about the nature of their annual contributions, and make sure there are no undue barriers to opting out of paying them. The failure to do so could seriously damage the UC’s legitimacy as a unique advocate for all undergraduates...
...does the intellect assured by an Ivy League diploma grant its bearer a sufficient title to rule? Is political virtue equivalent to the type of knowledge and intellectual agility required for success at places like Harvard? The point, pace the politically ambitious set at Harvard, remains far from certain...
