...envision a large collection," explains S.M.U. Director William Jordan, "but rather one of the best." S.M.U. has already acquired some fine Goya engravings, a distinguished Velásquez portrait; other works by artists ranging from Zurbaran to Miró. The loveliest of the lot is Murillo's landscape showing Jacob with Laban's flocks (see color overleaf).

...child to be chosen through an intriguing new adoption method. Video tape promises to eliminate much of the potential trauma of adoption procedures while making it far easier for agencies to unite prospective parents and children from different parts of the country.

He has a few suggestions for Maxudov's play: the hero must be stabbed, not shot; the sister must be rewritten as a mother, and so on. Maxudov refuses to make the changes and sadly returns to the Shipping Gazette...
...here for decades. Do we have to wait until we experience the same kind of general strike that hobbled Yale recently for a week before we admit that these men and women have in intense, legitimate and responsible interest in the way the University is run?
