Then in Annapolis last month, Carter gave a speech that attempted to be both tough and accommodating at the same time. Moscow, predictably, chose to hear only the contentious half and issued a blast at the U.S. through Pravda. If the difference between the Vance and Brzezinski views were not enough, Moscow must have been astonished-and delighted-when Ambassador Andrew Young chose this of all weeks to venture the ab surd idea that the U.S. had "hundreds, perhaps even thousands of ... political prisoners...
...first time since he said goodbye to the White House staff four years ago and flew away to his self-imposed house arrest in San Clemente, Nixon came to speak at a fully public occasion.

In addition, more than 30 applicants in each year Bakke applied would have been...
With so much going for it, it is hard to figure out why the Cambridge Acting Company chose such a turkey for its grand opener. The company clearly has the ability to do better, and if the actors want to stay in their slightly odd home, continuing to break the tradition of boys-will-be-girls fun, they'd better come up with something more inspiring next time out. The subject may, indeed, have been roses, but the product was boring...
