...February 26, American Eagle Flight 3226 spirited me away from Harvard. Wing-mounted prop engines labored hard and the SAAB 340B cabin vibrated hypnotically. I dosed off thinking-next stop, Santa Barbara, California. Soon, the hydraulic whirring of the landing gear woke me up and down we sailed, moving closer to the breaking waves and snaking coastline...
...discerning--and, unfortunately, unique--brand of educator who seeks to do more than just placate by means of symbolism. Instead, he has considered the university's ultimate goal and developed a means to that goal with the framework of the law.

That is not to say that buying an OutKast record is the same as dealing with real people, but it is reason to hope." Ice Cube is a bit more cynical: "It's kinda like being at the zoo. You can look into that world, but you don't have to touch it. It's safe...
