University policy is somewhat nebulous regarding the actual return of bluebooks to students; in general this is left to the discretion of the instructors.

Obviously a uniform policy is needed, not only permitting a student to see his paper, but to keep it if he chooses...
...actual fighting scenes are better than anything in recent films. Douglas must have spent a long time learning to hit people and be hit, for he is never, as was Lardner's Midge, "stopped by a terrific slap on the forearm."

I suggest that the moral forces that overcame Chiang were very real indeed; but methinks these "moral forces" have taken up more than a little space on the Kremlin-to-China trade route...
