Reading lists would not be much shorter than the regular course reading lists since the whole purpose is to get the bulk of the reading out of the way early in the year. Only the most difficult, most analytical or philosophical texts would be held over for later in the year. This would no doubt mean that a huge amount of reading would have to be plowed through, but since the new system would not apply to Natural Science courses, to Language courses or to tutorials and since exam period stretches out the reading period anyway, it would not seem...
RICKY NELSON, a disciple of Elvis, is the only derivative member of the first rank, but his place is assured by the bulk of his work and the single detached, cool style in which he approaches all his material, be it the affirmative I Believe, the despondent Lonesome Town, the hopeful I Got a Feeling, or the philosophical A Teenager's Romance.

Hardly more than a stretch of East African desert, the country is sun-scorched and poor and was, until recently, hopeless as well. At last, though, someone in Somalia has decided to do something about the country's parlous state. Premier Mohammed Ibrahim Egal, 39, who took office only nine months ago, has created the most hopeful atmosphere since Somalia won independence in 1960 simply by facing up to problems that everyone else...
