...recommending that the rank groups remain as they are, and that the rank lists for honors and Selective Service be made to correspond with them more closely, the Board -- which includes all the senior tutors and several deans -- showed that it did not agree...
Lord Randolph, a genial wit to his public, was pretty much an ogre to his son. He believed that he had been cursed with a backward boy and treated Winston like a delinquent dunderhead. He hardly condescended to correspond directly with his son, and communicated his bleak Olympian ultimatums on Winston's tardiness, low school marks and other failures, through Lady Randolph.

...time that would alternate with blocks of time reserved for elective courses. The report suggests that the academic year be divided into blocks of 20, 15, and 10 weeks, with the first and third devoted to the core, and the second to the electives.

These labels correspond to years in which the candidates' political perspective--and that of their followers--was shaped. Williams was first elected Governor in an upset in 1948 and retained office only after thorough recounts in 1950 and 1952. Throughout his six terms he faced hostile Republican legislatures, whose conservatism can hardly be made comprehensible today. The Republican legislators were not Goldwater-like ideologues with sleek suburban backgrounds, but simple small-town businessmen who saw no use for government above...
