...THIS weren't enough, Steinberg includes an appendix consisting of particularly cogent remarks by Rayburn, which he calls "Rayburnisms." It includes profundities like "The size of a man has nothing to do with his height" and "Any jackass can kick a barn down, but it takes a carpenter to build...
...faculty greeted the report - particularly its mentor recommendations - with "massive indifference," Hoskins remembers. If anything, only a small appendix note on a possible change in the lengths of the school term to save money caused any stir. But that stir was strong enough to distract the faculty from the other 117 pages of the Dahl Report. The appendix suggested that the school should remain open all year to try to increase tuition revenue without crowding classes. "The debate on the report waged on that appendix," William Kessen, Yale professor of psychology and committee member, recalls. Ironically, after all "that vigorous...
...biggest drawbacks to educational reform, the committee members assert, were the faculty's reluctance to change and its growing awareness that the school would not have the funds to carry out the major recommendations of the report. Worse, with the debate over the report's appendix came the understanding that not only could things not change for the better but that the status quo would have to be cut back and the number of faculty reduced.

The appendix shows that as fast and prodigiously as the composer worked, he was never too busy for probing second thoughts. In this concluding album, devoted to Haydn's last great symphonies, Dorati...
...American in the Gulag is the record of those lost years. Within the genre of Russian prison literature, Dolgun's memoir may rank only as a sort of rough appendix. It is none too carefully composed and, in places, overwritten. But it brings home truths about bureaucratic cruelty and individual endurance all the more effectively for U.S. readers because the author, though he had spent much of his life in Russia, was an American. In prison he passionately held on to his American identity, steadily regarding himself as an unlikely candidate for political martyrdom. After all, a mistake...
