...islands have been British Associated States, and all are leaving London's paternal embrace hungry for aid. They share one other trait: a capacity to cause problems for the 26-member OAS, which they all plan to join. Each will receive a vote equal to that of the U.S., Mexico and Brazil.

Du-Bridge: "Our football game is a full-time day of seminars for students and alumni. And they flood the campus for them. It is equal to homecomings in each of the disciplines." Adds President Goldberger: "Our unique position is our mystique. Our small size enables us to form a community of scientists, a scholarly intimacy that cannot be found any place else...
