...when the gloves came off. The Task force's report set in motion the two-year sequence of events that culminated in last spring's Faculty vote to replace Gen Ed with a more detailed Core Curriculum. Henry Rosovsky, dean of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences and the architect of the Core proposal, calls the curriculum reform "an attempt to redirect the attention of the Faculty to the concerns of undergraduates"; others, such as Harrison C. White, professor of Sociology, termed it "a return to 1953 General Education," nothing more than a stiffening of existing requirements. The various arguments...
...thrown into sharp focus when the Latin American bishops gather at Pueblo, Mexico. Their meeting may produce a dramatic confrontation between go-it-slow churchmen and a restive "liberation" camp that sees opposition to oppression as a Christian duty. A Pope like Argentina's Eduardo Cardinal Pironio, an architect of the progressive bishops' conference of a decade ago, could encourage major initiatives. The issue also arose last month, when the African bishops' symposium issued moral denunciations of governments that are built upon lies, intolerance, political murders and "shameful enrichment of a small class at the expense of the broad masses...

Aiming at what...
...obviously know their market.

A historian, an architect, a playwright, a woman Cabinet member, a Nobel scientist-all of these have lived longer, reflected more, rubbed up against more experience and have more to say. An oddity of this kind of journalism (well known to the unyoung among its readers) is that the most interesting people aren...
Preservationists already are making plans to use the Grand Central ruling in their fight to save other landmarks: for example, the 1898 Bayard-Condict Building, the only building designed by Architect Louis Sullivan ever constructed in New York City...
