Convictions about the impossibility of education notwithstanding, though, what budding lawyers are doing at Harvard Law School is patently obvious. In a world where education in the traditional sense of liberation from prejudice had no meaning, the Harvard name might still inspire enough respect and command enough money to justify tuition and time in Cambridge...

It stresses method and approach rather than command of specific subjects and particular books; it is at once more humble and more demanding. Such a philosophy is the keystone of Harvard's curriculum, not only of the Core curriculum, but of the tutorial program as well...
Soviet mock-bombing sorties, unlike the traditional reconnoitering flights practiced by both superpowers, have become increasingly common in the past year, according to Aviation Week & Space Technology. In the early 1980s the Alaskan Air Command intercepted only ten to 15 Soviet scout flights annually, but already this year U.S. F-15s have confronted 20 Bears.

France began the trend in 1966 when Charles de Gaulle closed down NATO bases and pulled his country out of the alliance's integrated command structure. Spain followed a similar tack in 1982: it joined NATO but kept its forces out of the chain of joint European command based outside Brussels. Last January, Madrid went a step further by ordering the U.S. to withdraw its 72 F-16 jet fighters from Torrejon air base. Greece has raised questions about U.S. bases on its soil.
