...story is relatively easy to adapt. It merely describes in numbingly minute detail a few ordinary things that happen on June 16, 1904, in the lives of three people in Dublin: a young poet-teacher named Stephen Dedalus (Maurice Roeves), a middle-aged Jewish ad salesman named Leopold Bloom (Milo O'Shea) and Bloom's erogenous wife Molly (Barbara Jefford). Joyce overlaid his simple story with symbolic parallels, some mythological and some psychological, that are more difficult to photograph. Stephen, for example, is Telemachus, Bloom is Ulysses, Molly is Penelope, and the events of the day correspond...

The President of the Graduate Students' Association, Marshall Bloom (an American), helped organize a meeting held Jan. 31 to discuss opposition to the new Director. Sir Sydney reacted to the discussion as if it were a conspiracy to overthrow a School appointment; he banned the meeting an hour before it was scheduled to take place.

The students replied by refusing to abandon the demonstration; they opened a debate on whether to continue the sit-in during the Easter vacation and to establish a "free university" with faculty...
...math study, conducted by the International Project for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement with the help of UNESCO, was easily the most massive comparative study of schools ever undertaken. The researchers, who included a five-man U.S. team headed by Education Professor Benjamin Bloom of the University of Chicago, carefully framed questions so that they would not favor the students of any one nation. The tests were given to 132,775 students in 5,348 schools during...
