“Afghanistan faces the daunting prospect of a drastic reduction in foreign aid, which currently makes up about 90 percent of the country’s revenue. Some have seen an economic life raft in geological surveys that indicate huge deposits of copper, iron, uranium and lithium in various parts of the country [worth as much as 3 trillion USD]. But multinational mining firms have been slow to invest in Afghanistan — not least because of questions about stability after American troops draw down.”

Fox In Socks! Dartmouth Names Its Medical School After Dr. Seuss
Millions of Dr. Seuss fans are grateful for his cute pictures and great rhymes, but Dartmouth University is also grateful for his donations.
Dr. Seuss — whose real name was Theodor Geisel (Dartmouth Class of 1925) — liked to share his wealth with his alma mater, where he edited the humor magazine, the Jack-O-Lantern, until he was caught drinking gin.
In return, this week the New Hampshire college officially renamed its medical school “The Audrey and Theodor Geisel School of Medicine” in honor of the author and his second wife, a nurse, who is the 90-year-old curator of her late husband’s works.
