...College accepts that zero tolerance is wrong, the only fair, safe, and sensible approach would be for all three bodies to more formally endorse the College’s general policy of leniency. 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. As counselors like to tell us, “A problem shared is a problem halved” (or in this case, trisected): The College needs to arrange a good, long talk between its three drugs-related bodies...
...places such as Bangladesh's muddy delta and the dry northern expanses of Ethiopia that still lack the infrastructure, education and methods of treatment that would protect their children's lives. To be sure, there is some good news; a recent report by unicef found that global access to safe drinking water rose from 1990 to 2004. But 1.1 billion people still don't have clean water; 2.6 billion lack a basic toilet. "That's an infrastructure problem and a development problem that we have not been able to deal with," says Greenough of Johns Hopkins. If the world wants...

The intricately crafted lyrics in songs like Escondite Ingls allow her to work out that wonderfully warbled voice. And Shakira's reputation for writhing is safe with La Tortura, her rocked-out-yet-folky duet with Spanish crooner Alejandro Sanz. You'll have no choice but to get up and dance...
...victims may turn out to be campaign chairman Reynolds, who suddenly found himself running as many as 8 points behind in his upstate New York House-seat re-election bid, which had appeared fairly safe a week earlier. Hastert's job seems secure for the moment, barring any big new revelations, in part because the House Speaker is not merely a party leader; the role was established under the Constitution. It would be difficult to replace Hastert without summoning Congress back into town from the campaign trail. Nor would an ugly fight over who would succeed him be good...
...Orbiter began its mission to map Mars' surface with unprecedentedly sharp-eyed cameras, ground- penetrating radar and other instruments. The cameras are so powerful that they can actually see Opportunity, which is about the size of a golf cart, from nearly 200 miles up. They can also help find safe routes for the rover. But more important, they will give scientists a map of Mars that will make future exploration--ultimately by humans--much easier to plan...
