This isolation is doubtless intensified by the lunatic extremes of the Kim cult and the Juche Idea, a somewhat opaque notion that stresses that the masses are the agents of revolution and man is master of everything. The result is government by total mobilization. Kindergarten children march, singing, to school; construction workers march, singing, to work. The Muscovite subway stations, all marble and murals, offer glass-framed copies of the party daily, Rodong Sinmun, on every platform. Meanwhile, at the Mansudae Art Theater, a multimillion-dollar showpiece groaning with chandeliers, the revolutionary opera Song of Paradise climaxes with the cast...
...York gets its treatment in 1986, to be followed the next year by a volume for Boston and most of the New England area. The entire series is to be completed in 1990, by which time the ranks of American "patricianhood'' (Stansfeld's term) will doubtless have expanded to fit legions of new peers. Judging from the Texas volume", many of those elevated have ancestors of no greater moral ignobility than most of the milords listed in Debrett's (British) Peerage...
...sexual harassment. Insofar as naivete or thoughtlessness is to blame for the development of awkward situations we may look forward to some improvement. But there are certain things which my experience in my current role has persuaded me are likely to be pervasive features of the landscape.

But I believe it is realistic to predict that instructors and students will continue to find each other personally attractive and that on occasion some will act on their...
...further discussion of the O.A. is quite to the point--he himself realizes its superiority to any E., however A. His illustration includes one of the key. "Wake Up the Grader" phrases--"It is absurd." What force! What gall! What fun! "Ridiculous," "hopeless," "nonsense," on the one hand; "doubtless," "obvious," "unquestionable" on the other, will have the same effect. A hint of nostalgic, anti-academic languor at this stage as well may well match the grader's own mood: "It seems more than obvious to one entangled in the petty quibbles of contemporary Medievalists--at times, indeed, approaching the ludicrous...
...habit. When man sends colonies into space, he will be able to mount movable, sun-reflecting mirrors to simulate rhythms of night and day and even the terrestrial seasons. If he wished such special effects, he could probably conjure up an occasional blizzard inside the space colony. But he doubtless will follow the longstanding American habit of thinking that outer space should, as much as possible, resemble Southern California. If he does install seasons in the colony, they will be only for the benefit of the vegetables...
