...simplify the course selection process and to make shopping week saner for both students and professors, all course syllabi--whether for a potentially large Core or a limited-enrollment seminar--should be posted on the World Wide Web before shopping period begins.

...nascent activist community, as the administrators appear slow to adopt the changes many feel are necessary to unite the disaffected factions of the campus.

In one bad satire-like coincidence, Hollywood has a not-so-bad satire in current release: Wag the Dog, in which a President is accused of ravishing a "Firefly Girl." The producers were reported to be cautiously optimistic that the White House crisis would...
