possible President for U of C?
Submitted by Tom on Wed, 02/22/2006 - 8:36am.I see that the embattled president of Harvard has resigned. Chicago is looking for a new president. the Harvard students loved this guy and he was critical of grade inflation. Also he is an economist (something dear to Chicago's heart). Maybe chicago should consider this guy--although he might be too ambitious for other things to consider the job.

Christians in Las Vegas
Submitted by Tom on Tue, 02/14/2006 - 11:52am.I read this somewhere: " 'A reader tells me that there are more Catholic churches in Las Vegas than casinos. When the offering is received at Mass, it is common for people to put casino chips rather than cash in the baskets. The several parishes send the collected chips to a neighboring Franciscan Monastery, where they are sorted and then cashed in at the casinos they came from. This weekly task is undertaken by those who are called the chip monks.' I apologize. That is really awful. But I needed one more short item for today’s posting. I promise it will not happen again."
Newsweek
Submitted by Tom on Mon, 02/13/2006 - 6:05pm.It looks like I figured out the directions. Look out--mucho articles to come in the future! This article reminded me of the aricle in "The Economist" a few months ago which revealed the survey that 17 of the top 20 universities in the world are in the US.
