...January term will be added for first-year students—one already exists for second- and third-years—to accommodate the problems and theories course, which will focus on “complex problem solving” on issues “beyond the bounds of any single doctrinal subject,” according to the review...
...course, hard-liners would say that the problem is leniency, not inconsistency: Harvard must pursue full legal punishment for drug offences because “it’s the law!” But why should the College put itself front line in the Government’s disastrous “war on drugs?” The concept of zero tolerance is both unfair and ineffective: It does little to dissuade drug use, and potentially carries hugely disproportionate penalties—prison and a permanent criminal record—for personal drug use. After all, the campus?...

This need not mean a public declaration of intent to disregard federal laws—that would clearly be stupid—but rather internal communication that ensures consistency.

In 2005 alone, over 17,000 walked through the range. And that's a problem for the military. Every time an unauthorized person or vehicle is spotted on the range, training sessions are halted. In 2003, 450 training hours were lost to this kind of interference; last year the figure tripled to 1,381 hours. That leaves pilots going into combat with fewer flying hours...
