...previously that the elephants felled trees simply for food. Croze argues that the real reason is a destructive urge born of overcrowding. Other scientists believe that, as elephants are driven into the park for refuge, their overall number is decreasing. In Uganda, elephants in overcrowded parks have begun to develop heart conditions because of stress. The hartebeest population in Nairobi National Park is growing so fast that males must fight frequently for territory, thus disrupting their feeding habits. Even worse, because the national parks are not ecological units, there is no balance between food and animal number, predator and prey...
...film does not try to develop ideas about its subject. It lacks any stylistic will to lay things open, to cut apart fictional characters or real societies so we can see better what they are made of. The Cuban Revolution, for example, is presented as the hero's "revenge on the stupid Cuban bourgoisie-everything I don't want to be." It has no direct presence in his life; he is always buffered from it by this sense or that feeling. Even when the Cuban legal system intervenes in his life, and puts him on trial for rape. Alea presents...

Without a serious commitment of time and energy on the part of the volunteers (often at the expense of their academic studies) no socially productive and/or personally rewarding programs will develop out of PBH. Clearly by cutting off funds and denying course credit the University is limiting the function of PBH to that of an ameliorative, do-gooder institution. The type of social service the FAS suggests reeks of paternalism and nobles oblige and offends the sensibilities of any concerned student. Must...
...reexamining its goals, the University must recognize its prime responsibility in education. The best means of doing this is to develop a faculty whose prime interest is teaching. This involves some personal renewal on the part of everyone on the faculty. Responsibility only sits on the shoulders of individuals. Committees slouch...
...integrity of Newspeak, it reads so quickly that you finish before you really begin. By eliminating antique appendages like adjectives and adverbs, Segal created the Evelyn Wood Primer without the Evelyn Wood course. His novel naturally made the critics apoplectic. What more serious writers hoped to develop-the cinematic novel-Segal achieved rather grossly in a pulp classic that has more blackouts than Laugh-In or Meander. The GWTW Margaret Mitchell shouldn't be living at this hour to see how Hollywood has bastardized the best-seller. Segal's screenplay has so little substance that the movie...
