...were impressed by the idea behind the science requirement of the Core Program and feel that it represents a helpful move toward answering a challenge which vexes all of our campuses: providing a substantive exposure to science for students who tend to be ill-trained, uninterested and anxious about their ability to deal with scientific subjects. We are aware that the development of demanding and sophisticated science courses for the Core Program remains a significant concern, and we are encouraged by an evident determination to pursue that issue...
...what he sees." One man, not the many; within himself, not among his fellows. Socrates may have been content to contemplate his doctrines in the ivory tower. But if Stone's history can at all be relied upon, these ideas found their way into the hands of those anxious to act upon them. The government set up benefitted the few to the detriment of the many Socrates did not say a word...
...look around and note the saturation points. American farming, which took so steep a tumble in the early 1980s, has recovered lately but only to a level where the surviving farmers look toward anxious stability, not flush times.

Aaron Altman -- or Edward R. Murrow -- could hardly quarrel with that...
Typically, SAD sufferers become clinically depressed with the approach of winter. Besides gaining weight, oversleeping and being listless, they withdraw socially, lose interest in sex and feel anxious and irritable. As spring approaches, depression subsides and behavior returns to normal. In fact, some people become downright euphoric during the long days of July and August. Carl Harris, 37, of Takoma Park, Md., whose winter plaint is "If I were a bear, I'd hibernate," finds in summer that he needs only four hours of sleep a night and can work two or three jobs at once.
