...paintings can be grouped into "periods" and arranged in chronological sequence--as has been done at the Guggenheim show, which closed last week--these periods are not stages in a progression towards a unique artistic voice, but a series of disjointed and often imitative efforts to find such a mode of expression...
Undefeated Wellesley was charged up for what they traditionally consider the premier game of their campaign, and it showed in their physical mode of play. But Radcliffe, which still had the bitter memory of Tuesday's 1-0 loss to Brown, offset the aggressive Wellesley tactics by opening up thier own attack...
...grip of a revival as frenetic as any ever whipped up by an evangelist. The skateboard has returned as the favorite platform of the well-balanced athlete. After ten years in the recreational limbo reserved for Hula-Hoops and yo-yos, the surfboard on wheels is already the preferred mode of propulsion-and sleight of foot-for an estimated 2 million Southern Californians, and their numbers are increasing by as many as 5,000 a day. The skateboarding craze may already claim around 30 million enthusiasts nationwide. Los Angeles manufacturers have received orders from as far away as Japan...

What those strictures will be is far harder to judge--stricter grading policies, perhaps, and more requirements. Maybe the requirements will directly reflect modern society--more science, more economics, more on the third world--or perhaps they will stress basic writing and analytic skills. They are likely...
