Bridge to be completed by fall '98

By Ritika Nandkeolyar | October 2, 1997

Although half of the construction work on Ledyard Bridge will be completed within the month, the traffic bottlenecks on West Wheelock Street aren't likely to improve until next year. The Ledyard Bridge -- which has faced delays and budgeting problems since the start of its construction in 1995 -- should be ready for traffic by the end of October 1998, said Department of Transportation spokesman Bill Boynton. Boynton said there have been minimal delays since the summer, and construction is expected to proceed on schedule. Workers are beginning paving and erecting safety barriers.

Judge: Princeton Review must correct false claims: Test prep group must cover up claims on books, CDs

By Eun Lee Koh | October 2, 1997

A U.S. District Court in New York yesterday ordered The Princeton Review to paste stickers over misleading statements on the covers of thousands of the test preparation books the company sells to high school and college students. In settling the lawsuit brought by its leading competitor -- the Kaplan Education Centers -- The Princeton Review agreed to send stickers to bookstores and software distributors to cover up false claims on the 1998 edition of the book Cracking the GMAT CAT and the computer software Inside the SAT and ACT Deluxe. Kaplan also asked for the recall of the two products as well as compensation from The Princeton Review in monetary damages -- the court granted neither concession. The court also found no fault or liability by The Princeton Review. The Princeton Review said the misleading statements are accidental, and the lawsuit is an attempt by Kaplan to damage the company's image. "This is one of the goofiest lawsuits," said Princeton Review spokesman Paul Cohen.

Cash Rules

By Abiola Lapite | October 1, 1997

It has been amusing to read the responses to Kenji Hosokawa's article on September 24, in which he was charitable enough to venture to the freshmen a few words of advice about how to manage their four years here.
