...stringent policies on hiring full-time teachers.On this page, we have repeatedly maligned the Core Curriculum and endorsed the recommendation of the review’s Committee on General Education, in which students would be able to fulfill general education requirements either through a distribution requirement or through broad and integrative Courses in General Education. For all its faults, however, the Core does play to the strength of faculty in that it allows them to teach courses focused on their particular subtopics of interest. The biggest hurdle for these Courses in General Education will be finding faculty with the necessary...

The star of Nickelodeon's Unfabulous and the new movie Aquamarine--who shares the broad, screen-ready smile of her aunt Julia (yes, that Julia)--plays the preppy, resourceful teen sleuth in next year's movie Nancy Drew. The plot has Nancy joining her dad on a business trip to Los Angeles and finding herself (by golly!) probing the death of a movie star. Roberts, 15, calls her character, first introduced in novels in the 1930s, "the Barbie of her time," meaning, we suppose, an icon. Either that or a well-dressed gal with...
