Negotiators have already hammered out not one but two treaties. The main document totally erases the old treaty under which the U.S. could exercise authority "as if sovereign"-a contentious phrase that provided for colonial power over the zone. Instead, Panama would gain full jurisdiction over the zone within three years. Meanwhile, the U.S. would operate the canal itself until Dec. 31, 1999-and then turn it over to Panama. Some 3,500 Americans working for the Panama Canal Co., which is entirely owned by the U.S. Government, would lose such perks as subsidized housing and bargain shopping at official...
...long story, complex, laced with irony (as any tale of cultural colonization must be), and unquestionably central to the history of modern art. Until now, no museum has attempted to document it with one mammoth show, and in fact the Pompidou Center is the only institution in France with enough funds to try. Being the modernist showcase of Paris, it is very much a part of the dialectic it now seeks to clarify...
There has also been much counter-propaganda on human rights, ranging from the legitimate to the preposterous. On the subject of the free flow of ideas, Russian journalists have rightly pointed out that the U.S. has not widely distributed the text of the Helsinki document, as stipulated in the accords. A Warsaw newspaper complained that while Polish TV ran 2.3 hours of American movies every week last year, U.S. viewers were allowed to see only 6.4 hours of Polish films in the entire year...
...much is history. First Novelist Thomas Gavin, 36, reopens this long-closed case with a single question: What if Schlumberger did not die when the newspapers claimed but lived on in obscurity, composing a private journal of his bizarre life? If such a document existed, it might tell something worth hearing about a chess genius who mysteriously elected to spend twelve years playing inferior opponents while anonymously stuffed in an airless, sweltering box. Gavin asserts that such a document did exist and that Kingkill is based on it. With this single shading of fact into fiction, the performance begins...
...report of the task force of pedagogical improvement was essentially a document aimed at raising the Faculty's consciousness about the importance of teaching quality. Its major recommendation--that evaluations of teaching ability accompany all nominations for tenure, promotion or appointment--was designed to provide more concrete incentives for investing time in teaching. Administrators claim that the committees who consider nominations for tenure or promotion are already beginning systematically to take teaching ability into account...
