...counterpart is Oxford-taught William Tucker, also 30, who switched from painting to sculpture after seeing Moore.

...average Annamalai student seems to study less than his Harvard counterpart. Five courses throughout the year may require a total of 3000 pages or reading notes are not usually part of the study pattern; a student may appear to read a textbook on atomic physics as if it were a novel.

That gold in Fort Knox is a most fantastic relic of an ancient age. Give all the gold to the French and let De Gaulle become another King Midas...
