...College Harry R. Lewis '68 believes we may no longer need one. With Archie C. Epps III's announcement yesterday that he will step down on July 1, 1999, after 35 years of serving students from University Hall, came the disturbing notice that the post he now holds may disappear. "I have not come to any conclusion yet about structure, titles, etc. for the future," Lewis wrote The Crimson in an e-mail. But, he told us last month, "[t]here could be some moving around of the pieces...
Things got slightly worse with the great C minor Nocturne, Op. 48, at a tempo that sapped its strength. This is one of the few performances I can think of where the chordal middle section was actually more interesting than its famous neighbors. The left hand would disappear and reemerge at odd, disjunct moments, and there was no sense of heightening at the return of the first theme in its slick new clothes...
Brest thinks he needs three endless hours to turn Death into a glam and fully cuddlesome character. And as we watch his movie (a remake of 1934's blessedly brief Death Takes a Holiday, in which Fredric March played the title role) slowly disappear into the blond hole of Pitt's affectlessness, we have plenty of time to observe just how profoundly he has misconceived Death.

Skeptics charged that lottery proceeds would disappear into the morass of general government revenue.

The scholarship, which has sent more than 330,000 students to college, has in a few short years attained sacred-cow status in the Peach State. The Democratic and Republican candidates to succeed Miller, each of whom once opposed a lottery, practically fell over one another to pledge HOPE's continuation. In Alabama...
...right where it counts: in the pocketbook. On Jan. 1, the currencies of 11 European Union countries will be officially replaced by a central monetary unit called the euro. It will take three years for the old deutsche mark, franc and lira coins and bank notes to disappear, but in less than two months their values will be pegged to that of the euro. And savvy U.S. investors are moving to take advantage of investment opportunities offered by the new currency...
