...sizes. Small class settings and the breadth of our course offerings are vital to the undergraduate experience, and we hope they are not sacrificed for financial reasons. Moreover, small departments, especially those that are composed of committees, might be more negatively affected than others which have more professors to spare. Administrators must work to ensure such departments do not inequitably suffer, and they also must minimize the difference between rates of attrition and hiring in order to ensure that smaller course offerings and larger classes do not become the norm...

But history's best golfer will undoubtedly seize the chance to repair his reputation the way he earned it in the first place. One Sunday next year, Woods will catch fire, tear past the competition and hoist another trophy.

Marcel Breuer devised his soon-to-be-famous tubular steel chairs with their bands of stretched black canvas, a skeletal combination of lines and taut planes that looked like an X-ray of a chair. Even then, while factory production may have been the aspiration for many pieces, old-fashioned handcraft may still have been the method behind them.
