His face was covered by a flesh-colored, fiber-glass mask slashed by two dark ovals for eyes and a hole for a mouth that looked from a distance like a gush of black blood.

Little else draws them: families-in-residence are discouraged and classes follow the troops. During his year in the program, a lecturer (the same title for all) can end up teaching in four or five countries. In his ten years, the program's Dean Ray Ehrensberger has flown almost a million miles...
