...equally valid assumption: that Harvard students are perceptive and industrious enough to realized their own needs and to meet them voluntarily. Dean Glimp has provided an even more telling argument. He stated last year that a general calculus requirement would prevent the Admissions Committee from accepting candidates who display outstanding talents in the arts or humanities but who have almost no aptitude for mathematics. We thus urge that the CEP plan be approved on its own merits and not as a first step toward a college-wide math obligation...
...only the Americans' presence that seems to bother the British workers, but also the can-do attitudes that the Yanks display. When Ford bought up a pressed-steel plant at Swansea, the British waited skeptically to see how long it would take the Yanks to get it into production for Ford. They got a surprise: in an unheard of six months, three Americans got the plant rolling...
...drama remains doggedly minor because Writer-Director Cy Endfield too often concentrates on the man-womanman conflict, which is sexier but not so interesting finally as the elemental battle for survival.

The threat of death from heat and starvation seems remote when Susannah lazes by a fresh-water pool while Whitman strides forth fully armed, bagging big and small game with reassuring regularity. Kalahari is most effective when it shows men pushed to the last extremity, as in the brutal spectacle...
...dislike goes beyond rational, or even irrational, argument. Some of it is purely visceral. "I don't know why," says an Ethiopian observer, "but I cannot stand to look at his picture."

A Tokyo political scientist can find only one word to define Johnson: shominteki-meaning pedestrian or commonplace...
...period rooms, include an education department, a 200-seat auditorium, a junior museum and a 2,500-volume art library. For the new sculpture court, Sir Jacob Epstein's widow gave six of his busts, including one of Somerset Maugham. Soon the Far Eastern gallery will put on display a distinguished collection of Han-dynasty pottery, on extended loan. Donald DeCoursey Harrington, a gas and oil investor living in Texas, has donated 47 paintings from Boudin to Vuillard that make the museum's survey of French art its most vital collection...
