...other comprehensive study of hazing, which looked at Division I athletics. Madden said that one objective of the study was to increase awareness of hazing, as well as an understanding of why it is a generally accepted part of campus life. “Hazing is a complex problem,” she said. “Different people, depending on where they fit, are going to see it differently.” Last spring, the Faculty of Arts and Sciences changed Harvard’s Handbook for Students to hold student officers responsible for any hazing that occurs within...
...them into politics. The positive stereotypes—women are great connectors and have lots of caring and feelings—tend to backfire when applied to comedy. All that compassion makes it difficult to tell a joke. And once they do get involved, there is the problem of the unstated dress code.

The U.S. has spent more than $5 billion this decade aiding Colombia's largely failed efforts to eradicate coca cultivation. Meanwhile, Washington and the U.N. have tried to get Bolivia and Peru to reduce their coca crops to the bare minimum for traditional consumption. Peru and Bolivia are the region's second and third largest coca producers, behind Colombia, with about more than 75,000 hectares...
