...twice as important a deterrent among Blacks as among the group as a whole, a statistic that may reflect the sharp drop in the proportion of Blacks who chose to enter this year's class. The flow of students to all-expenses-paid scholarships (such as the Morehead at Chapel Hill, which includes graduate school) was substantial: other students opted for six-year medical programs to ensure the same sort of security. And Fitzsimmons says at least two students went to state schools on full scholarships to save money for a less academically able younger sibling, in case the latter...
...superstar. Even the advertising campaign for "E. T." hints coyly at a Significant Parallel for sharp-eyed moviegoers to discern: that now-famous elongated finger stretching down from the heavens to point at a human finger reaching up from the earth. Remind you of any famous creation scenes on chapel ceilings? One wonders: since E. T.

There the enervated finger of post-industrial Adam is about to be plugged into the socket of divine science. One can even find a title for this vaulting masterpiece: CI. It stands for command, control, communications, computing/information and intelligence. Kahn is not too specific about command and control. His discussion of CI other components describes an information network that he believes should enable government...
...still dark when the priory bell announces the day. In the small, spare chapel built of fieldstone and used wooden beams, 14 brothers gather for their vigil prayer. They arrive singly, dressed in work clothes and blue Oriental-style overblouses. In the choir space, illuminated by a single candle, they wait in quiet meditation until all are present. With them on this weekend morning are some 40 visitors...
