Some professors remained skeptical. Robert Nozick, professor of Philosophy, told the Faculty Tuesday that he believed Bowersock's reforms, combined with the demands of the Core Curriculum next year, would place "too heavy a burden" on professors. He asked his colleagues to oppose the legislation...
...film's title comes from jargon that nuclear power engineers use to describe the worst possible kind of nuclear power accident. It would happen if the core of the reactor, in which the chain reactions are taking place, were accidentally uncovered, instead of being surrounded by water within its pressure vessel. When the core is uncovered, its heat would melt through the vessel, and the concrete and steel building that surrounds it, right into the ground--and in the terms of the jargon, "right through to China." That wouldn't happen, of course. The reactor core would soon hit ground...
Seething gases and liquids mask its rocky core. Its frigid atmosphere consists mostly of hydrogen and helium. Great cyclones and hurricanes swirl in its turbulent sky, with brilliant red and orange clouds constantly merging and breaking apart in ever changing patterns. Often the turbulence creates trails of sinuous white vapors thousands of miles long. The awesome, forbiddingly beautiful world is that of Jupiter, a planet so large it could swallow more than 1,300 earths...
...photographs of Callisto, darkest and outermost of the Galilean moons, showed that this gloomy sphere may be at least half water. Ganymede also seems watery, but appears to have an ice crust and possibly a mud core. Remarkably, both moons are dotted with dark spots that some scientists are tentatively calling ice volcanoes-craters that spew ice instead of fire and lava. Still closer to Jupiter, Europa apparently hides a rocky core beneath its bright icy surface...
...enough being an older woman in our society without being damned by the faint praise of this entirely fatuous, Canadian-made, soft-core film. Based on a novel by Stephen Vizinczey, it traces the romantic career of a youth (Tom Berenger) from his teen-age sexual initiation (by Karen Black, who betrays a certain nervousness in this comedown role) through various tedious amatory escapades with a number of older women. Some of them, despite the title and the falteringly worldly tone of the picture, actually treat him quite badly. This seems only fair, since he is himself either callous...
