...time you are facing "Mount Williamstown, from Munzana" (1944); on the last wall of prints, you hardly register the now-familiar enormities around you. You almost pass by untouched, but a piercing ray of sunlight glints off the center middle ground. You look again at the terrifying array of boulders marching out at you. There is a start of recognition...
...Rate Array. Frontier has climbed to that altitude partly by filling seats with the wildest array of discount air fares in the U.S. To the annoyance of its competitors, Frontier offers 13 kinds of cut-rate tickets, and during the first five months of this year they brought in 37% of the line's record $10.5 million passenger revenues.

M.I.T. now offers its students an array of 2,966 courses-half of which did not exist a decade ago. Before World War II, a single professor could teach everything that Columbia expected a student to know about China; now he would pick up fragments of Sinology from 20 specialized scholars. Many of these new sciences, moreover, are primarily graduate specialties-and the universities run heavy deficits operating top M.A. and doctoral programs. University...
