Today's Boston Globe articles

1. College Costs: http://www.boston.com/news/education/higher/articles/2010/03/28/fifty_thousand_dollars/

Tuition rises will pose serious problems for many, and the federal government and families need to allocate money and plan for college costs. I still think that colleges should try more to rein in costs themselves.

2. Legal Profession: http://www.boston.com/news/local/articles/2010/03/28/when_economy_falters_bankruptcy_lawyers_and_courses_prosper/

The legal profession follows the economy: bankruptcy law will continue to be good even in prosperous times.

3. Business in China: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/editorials/articles/2010/03/28/googles_brave_stand_on_china/

Google's stance is brave, but also calculated. Depending on how the rerouting strategy through Hong Kong works, Google risks a large surplus of capital or political headache.

4. Arms Control: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2010/03/28/pass_the_arms_treaty/

I agree with Kerry - the Senates should ratify the treaty. Its benefits for arms control and diplomacy are many, and should strengthen existing nuclear control regimes.

5. Koran: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2010/03/28/the_origins_of_a_holy_book/

This study is noteworthy, and ought to be encouraged. Nonetheless, given traditional Muslim sensitivities, research should be limited to academia.

6. Human Anatomy: http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/ideas/articles/2010/03/28/our_microbes_ourselves/

Yes, it's time to embrace the microbes and appreciate the complex ecosystem that is the human body. No need to wipe off all the "biological residue" from the keyboard each time.

7. Separation of Powers (book): http://www.boston.com/ae/books/articles/2010/03/28/rebalancing_act/

I am looking forward to reading this book: the similarities between then and now are eerily similar. Let's hope the Court do not become a hindrance to significant social and economic legislation necessary for our times.
