Right now, the FAS budget deficit of $220 million comes directly from an eight percent decrease in endowment money being funneled into FAS.

"When the woman died we were scared that this could be the fate of us all." Their fears only increased when a doctor...
...campaign scores highly even ahead of the launch. The central message of the film - which can be seen here - is contained in one pithy sentence: "Every year destruction of the rain forests releases more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere than all the world's cars, planes and ships put together." But all that is initially required of viewers is that they watch the film, pass it on through social-networking sites, and maybe edit themselves and their friends into...
