...would seem very difficult for the Corporation to ignore the substance of the professors' grievances. Universities are governed by a thin line of protocol, of academic due process and academic freedom. Within this framework, there is an important question as to the individual domain of administrators; questions of the bounds to which a dean, say, is restricted when dealing with different sectors of the University. It seems clear that Kilbridge has flaunted the unwritten limitations of a dean's powers. Perhaps Pusey gave him carte blanche to "clean up" the GSD; if so, then Kilbridge accepted the mandate and applied...
Japan's plight was well understood by the Europeans, who realized that Japan has been hit hard by U.S. trade and monetary action. The visitors stressed that in its race to become a preeminent industrial power, Japan has strained its social and economic framework, leaving itself peculiarly vulnerable to a slowdown in world trade...
...first step he should introduce a 1 to 1 admissions policy. He could accomplish this reform even within the framework of "non-merger." Bok has said that some of the additional tuition provided by the increased numbers of women would be ploughed back into scholarships.

Since 1968, Washington has been contributing funds to state and local police agencies through the Law Enforcement Assistance Administration (LEAA), but the handling of the program has been extraordinarily...
...understand Zappa's genius, one must first realize the framework in which Zappa creates his music. He does not play with the Mothers, but he plays on them. They are his instruments, extensions of his musical ideas. On stage Zappa conducts the band as though they were an orchestra. The group faces Zappa, and he waves his fist, middle finger extended, giving them cues, changes in rhythm, and musical direction. Zappa becomes master of the musicians' movements. He molds them into one with himself. With this ability to control every note, Zappa is free to improvise, to expand musical boundaries...
