...they do it? "By holding the line," snaps Colonel Dennis Nicholson, a vice president of the Citadel. "We didn't alter a thing." Academically that is true. What most of the five schools did do, however, was to sell prospective students and parents harder on the traditional virtues of the small, all-male college.

I never thought anything would make me alter my feelings, but Sadat demonstrated to me through his wisdom and courage that nothing is more important than the attainment of peace-not tradition, not pride, not even life itself. I will always feel that the world has lost a man who may have changed the meaning of life for all of us. Barbra Christodoulidis Cheltenham...
