...distance between the Allston science complex and Harvard Yard is a serious concern. The current seven minutes between classes is barely sufficient for students to walk across the Yard, let alone from one side of the river to the other. For this reason, the current plan is for morning classes to remain near Harvard Yard, while some afternoon sections, labs, and seminars would be held in the Allston facilities. In the afternoon, students are more likely to have more time to get to their classes and to already be nearer the Allston campus, either in the Allston Houses, student center...

And within days of the Virginia vote, Akinola moderated his view. In a welcoming letter to the Viginia churches - also released in Nigeria - he admitted, "We recognize that there are genuine concerns about individual human rights that must be addressed both in the framing of the law and its implementation...
When Shinzo Abe took over as Japan's Prime Minister last September, there was concern inside and outside of Tokyo that his right-wing leanings would put Japan on a collision course with its Asian neighbors. As a young legislator, Abe had pushed for a reexamination of Japan's expressions of guilt over its actions in World War II, and had called for changes in Japanese textbooks on the war. But during his first few months in office, Abe confounded critics by appearing to curb some of his earlier conservative inclinations. He moved to repair relations with China and South...
