From the sidewalk, Herrera's new bank is hard to distinguish from all-the other international financial agencies that root their initials deep in the bureaucratic soil of Washington. IADB's planned capitalization is $959,476,000; by far the biggest share ($450 million) will come from the U.S. with the rest to be contributed by 19 other hemisphere republics* (see chart...
...inevitably at work. Academicians rarely believe that doing a topflight job on a less prestigious level is sufficiently rewarding. All of the schools want to rise higher. Junior colleges want to be four-year colleges. State colleges want to be universities. Since all must battle for a dwindling share of the tax dollar, competition can be vicious. And with so many separate claimants, state legislators come to think with their scissors, and budgets end in ribbons...
Today's "Danish modern" is in a sense the climax of that tradition-a simple, sane and sanitary style suitable for all.

Even Denmark...

Both Northern and Southern Baptists share the basic Baptist tenets: the supreme authority of Scripture, baptism by immersion, the autonomy of the individual soul before God. The split between them began with the issue of slavery; the Southern Baptist Conference was founded in 1845, after a Northern majority of Baptists had ruled against missionaries' owning slaves. During the Civil War the Southern Baptists evangelized fervently among Confederate soldiers, financed their foreign missions in part by blockade-running cotton exports to England...
