Skippers' marks are always infinitely chaotic and variable. They range from groups 2 to 6 from semester to semester; from A to E in a single marking period. When a Skipper has his moments of success, he sees it as "good luck," a freak communion with a grader, an unexpected compliment. And when he happens to flunk out (with marks like two A's and two E's, his low marks do not faze him at all, since he thinks they are so crazy. He has a moderately unshakable estimate of his own intelligence and a measure of satisfaction with...
Strikes & Shortage. The latest copper find just added more excitement to the world copper situation, which is already cluttered and chaotic. Strikers last week slowed production in the rich copper mine area of the Congo, around which Moise Tshombe's shooting war revolved only last year. In Chile, where it often seems that copper labor would rather walk out than work, two crucial wage contracts run out this year; beyond that, Leftist Salvador Allende, who has made nationalization of U.S. copper mines his key plank, is making a strong bid for President in Chile's Sept. 4 election...

Bearded Return. Descended from Denmark's royal House of Glücksburg, which took over the Greek throne in 1863, Paul did not have a drop of Hellenic blood in his veins. Throughout his youth, Greece's chaotic politics periodically sent the young prince into exile. Between 1923 and 1935, he slipped back into republican Greece just once, disguised by a thick black beard and posing as a deck hand on a friend's yacht...
...Lewis had pared down the poem to focus on this symbol and eliminated the endless verbiage about cold snow, matted leaves, flat grasses, maple hedges, gray stems, tattered bark, and yellow sun, "March, Returned From Home" could have been a good poem. As it stands, it is sprawling, chaotic, and almost incomprehensible...
