...comment for this article, and the Dartmouth News Office could not be reached for confirmation of the figure late last night, but The Dartmouth, the University’s student newspaper, did report in February that almost 15 percent of eligible staffers had accepted the school’s offer of a retirement package. Just three weeks after Dartmouth’s deadline for accepting the package, the University’s administration announced that they would be laying off 60 staffers...
When I opened Monday’s email from Dean Michael D. Smith and Dean Evelynn M. Hammonds, entitled “January Experience Announcement,” I breathed a deep sigh of relief.

This shoreline and the roads behind it constitute the town's most popular restaurant and nightlife area, and there's enough litter piled about to prove it. We had excellent Mexican food at the new Reef Resort (Road to Serendipity, Sihanoukville; +855-012-315-338; bookings@reefresort.com.kh), a boutique hotel, and practically fell asleep afterward on the huge pillows spread out on the sand at Purple Lounge (at about the midpoint of Serendipity Beach). The town's former...
