...going to sea occurred that night: just a few hours after all that junk of bars, fighting, streets, subways, boom, there I am standing by the whipping shrouds and snapping lines in the Atlantic Ocean in the night off New Jersey, we're sailing south to Norfolk to load on for Italy, everything is washed away by the clean sea . . . The stars are big, they rock side by side like Galileo drunk and Kepler stoned and Copernicus thinking, like Vasco da Gama in his bunk in thought, the wind, the cleanness, the dark, the quiet blue light...
...linguistics was a rarity; now it is an option at some 30 universities. The field is growing so fast that the nation's 4,000 or so fully qualified linguists (roughly one for each of the world's languages) cannot keep up with the research and teaching load-and the shortage of scholars makes them highly mobile, gradually pushes up their salaries...
...efforts by students to three courses will almost surely be accompanied by an implicit reinterpretation by the faculty of what constitutes the requirements for a course; the faculty almost surely will fairly quickly adjust its requirements so as to match student efforts, each course constituting a one third load. In short, only a far more drastic change (for example, to a complete or nearly complete pass-fail system) would provide any measure of relief from the incentives which arise from the interpretation of grades outside the university as it is presently practiced...
Adzope happens to be a little bigger and richer and more important than most of the other towns. It prides itself as an important center for cocoa, coffee, and bananas. MG trucks load up in the surrounding forest with giant teak and mahogany logs for the export market. The town is the administrative seat for the surrounding sous-prefeture--a government unit including about 65,000 people. There are four sizable schools, bureaucratic offices, chain stores, a post office...
More serious, Mr. Moss disputes the judgment of the judges. I felt they were extremely well qualified: Dr. Yannatos and Mr. Corley are experienced conductors, and pianist Luis Vosgerchian, though carrying a heavy teaching load here as Lecturer in Music, has yet maintained an impressive reputation. He hints that they were prejudiced against "works too difficult for the HRO" or "large Romantic concertos in general," neither of which is the case at all, as a glance at our programs for the past few seasons will reveal.
