...Economics Emeritus, used to lecture his classes from notes he compiled in the course of writing a book. As soon as he completed the manuscript, he would move on to teach another course in another branch of economics in the interest of preventing boredom. For the same reason, Craig, Fairbank and Reischauer consistently lecture in Soc Sci 11 on the parts of the East Asian tome they didn't write. Loomis decided to leave his Math I teaching post as soon as the department voted to switch to his text several years ago. "I get embarrassed about using...
...asked why they use their own texts. If numbers sold are any mark of quality when it comes to textbooks, the assumption may not be as presumptuous as it sounds.

But we do all share one common individual belief: If you're hungry and a man won't give you bread, then that man is no-account...
...South of the 1920s is dead, of course, and so is the Southern Baptism of the '20s. Baptist leaders today protest with justifiable vehemence against stereotyped suspicions. "We're not a bunch of right-wing bigots," says Floyd Craig. "We're a pluralistic people. Every ethnic group is represented." Some 70,000 blacks now belong to the Southern Baptist churches, and several of the organization's key staffers are black. On the other hand, that 70,000 represents only one-half of 1 %-a minuscule figure that Baptist leaders ascribe partly to local autonomy, partly...
