Second, the undergraduate program of concentration--spread over four disciplines--could provide nothing more than a survey of each. "A man could just splatter himself all over without getting very deeply into the complexities of any one field," says Professor Gardner Patterson, Director of the School. "Although we offer a wide area of choice," he added, "we demand that the choices be made with care...
...matches, the Eyes carry .38s, each with a short sleeve welded inside the barrel so that real bullets cannot be fired. The blanks the pistols accommodate cost only a dime apiece.

But six years ago, after 800 years of Sultanate rule, the Maldives became a republic. Their first President abolished purdah, designed a Mother...
...Village, debated: "What is abstract art in the good sense?'' "How do you know when a work is finished?" "Why put a title on a painting?"
