Both superpowers propped up dictators and forced their economic policies onto their struggling clients, both stoked corruption and graft, and both fueled internal struggles such as the hellish wars that followed independence in Portugal's colonies of Mozambique and Angola. "We had lots of fears. There was no freedom of speech," says Kwame, about the time of troubles. "You go about and you see the army. The economy was getting worse." By the late 1970s, Ghana...

...Gregg Tucci acts as an unofficial advisor from the Chemistry department and moderates the sophomore tutorial, which is a series of low-key research presentations. The tutorial is not only a fantastic (and optional) way to get involved with a research group, but lacks the hellish qualities of the Economics, Government, and other sophomore tutorials known primarily for their mountains of “interesting” readings and 30-page papers. Here, the obligatory torture of new concentrators is left entirely to the introductory physics and organic chemistry classes. (Consider using the aforementioned Pass/Fail option for the latter...
