This local color is supposed to be in anticipation of the bicentennial next year but its real purpose is to forego the English accents. By switching the situation to Boston perhaps Ayrton hoped to hold the audience's attention in an otherwise long, drawn out farce...
...argument by pointing out irrelevant invalid statistics, which are innocuous to his major thesis (for the major figure of 52 per cent of blacks at Harvard on the dean's list compared to 82 per cent of all other ethnics still stands). There has been surprisingly little attention drawn to his elitist model. Most criticisms of Kilson's analysis are, in essence, attempts to flee from analysis while ideologizing the flight. They dwindle into psychoanalytic amateurism--futile attempts to explain the content of the articles by the disposition of the author via a crude sociology of knowledge. Such responses hold...
...imperial crown and velvet robes were missing. So was the ride from Buckingham Palace to Westminster in the horse-drawn state coach. Instead, Queen Elizabeth, wearing the same sapphire-blue coat she wore at Princess Anne's recent wedding, drove to the House of Lords to open the new Parliament last week in an ordinary black limousine.

On these dirt sketch pads, she says, they could break down each drawing into its component parts. Straight lines could be drawn by stretching a rope between two stakes. Curves represented more of a challenge. The ancient draftsmen apparently dealt with it by breaking each curve into smaller, linked arcs. Recognizing that the arcs represented sections of the circumferences of different-sized circles, they could have anchored one end of a string...
