...decade. Author Anthony Burgess recalls teaching in the U.S. at various times in the 1970s. "American college students have said, 'Like 1984, man,' when asked not to smoke pot in the classroom or advised gently to do a little reading." Now merely mentioning the date can convey muzzy criticism of whatever the speaker happens to dislike: advertising, computers, beeper phones, freeways and domed stadiums...

To dismiss Stratten's murder just because she journeyed into a corner of the world which most people find distasteful and irrelevant would...
Though the proposal--to establish a new sub-area within the Science area of the Core--will most likely meet with opposition on the student-Faculty Core advisory committee, it is at least an attempt to convey student dissatisfaction with the Core. All the same, the council should submit a thorough report to the committee, putting it in the context of the Core's academic philosophy...
