	Smuts, Jan Christiaan. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Of Boer (Afrikaner) stock but a British subject by birth, he was educated at Victoria College (at Stellenbosch) and at Cambridge Univ., where he won highest honors in law.
		By 1904 he concluded that the cooperation of Boer and British elements was essential to the greatness of South Africa, and he joined with Louis Botha to achieve this alliance.
		Weakened by his frequent absences and another strike-breaking incident, his party lost the election of 1924 to a coalition of labor and anti-British nationalists.

		Along with his Columbia colleague John G. Curtis, Lee was active in the political defense of experimental science against anti-vivisection legislation.
		Although the movement had lost its hold on the public imagination in the first decades of the 20th century, it was still a strong minority movement and biomedical scientists continued to organize against it.
		Lee was also responsible for surveying academic opinion both within and without Columbia on whether the medical school (and, by inference, the proposed medical center) should be situated adjacent to Columbia's main campus on Morningside Heights or whether a separate campus was feasible.

		This 2000 election was the second time the president had been democratically elected.
		The first time that happened, the ruling-party candidate won; the March 2000 election was the first one in which a candidate from an opposition party was elected to the presidency.
		And then, two or three days before the election, when it looked like Chen Shui-bian was very competitive in the election--in fact, nobody could call it, because there were three candidates and no polls being published in the last 10 days--the Chinese premier, Zhu Rongji, gave a finger-wagging statement at a televised press conference.

		We are in the midst of developing several tools for summarizing regressions, generalized linear models, and multilevel models—these tools include graphical summaries of predictive comparisons, numerical summaries of average predictive comparisons, measures of explained variance (R-squared) and partial pooling, and analysis of variance.
		This is based on, first, the assumption that there is a 1/2 probability of an even number of votes for the 2 candidates (otherwise you can't have a tie), and then on the assumption that the outcome is roughly equally-likely to be between 45% and 55% for either candidate.
