...faculty then sends us their graduate students to really do the work, to "teach" us in section and grade our papers and exams. These graduate students are frequently not interested in teaching, doing it only for the money or for their resumes. But an even more prevalent complaint is that they are quite often incompetent. Either they have no experience in the course's area, or no ability to teach or grade, or they have not done the reading for the course. My main complaint is that $10,000 a year is far too much...
Unable to define terms, McCarthy is unable to clarify her complaint about today's novel. Given that failure, her indictment rings empty. Nevertheless, she is sure the modern novel lacks serious purpose. Without evidence, she convicts a villain. Her book becomes a diatribe against Henry James who, she believes, singlehandedly created a new and inferior brand of fiction, "the pure novel." "When you think of James in the light of his predecessors," she writes, "you are suddenly conscious of what is not there: battles, riots, tempests, sunrises, the sewers of Paris, crime hunger, the plague, the scaffold, the clergy...

Said one Solidarity delegate in Gdansk last week: "We're on the same horse as the government. If the government explains what the nation can do, how much it will cost, then we can consider going along with that...
While Nkomo may feel resentful over his demotion, he has no constitutional grounds for complaint: having captured a mere 20% of the parliamentary seats in the independence elections that were held last February, his party had only been included in the government by invitation. Nor was that invitation completely withdrawn last week. Still anxious to mollify the Patriotic Front forces, the Prime Minister appointed a Nkomo stalwart, Josiah Chinamano, to head the Ministry of Transport. The Patriotic Front now holds five portfolios in Mugabe's 26-member Cabinet-not a bad deal for an outvoted minority...
