Other-directed linguists can attend Comp Lit 157 (Sever 8), where Professor Hatfield examines German Drama from Gleist to the Expressionists in the European context. The course is restricted to those who read German, but who doesn...

A collection of cocktail sippers stuttered over a definition of "femininity," finally decided that whatever was wrong with their wives, the best thing to do was "assert our power and not wash any more dishes."

Concentrating on Rome's first 40 years, about which virtually nothing is known beyond the legends handed down by Livy and Plutarch, Duggan sketches a fascinating if somewhat too breezily modern story. The Rome of 8th century B.C., as described by Duggan, sounds very much like a common European caricature of the 20th century U.S. Rome is slow to war. and quick to extend aid to an enemy once he has been beaten.
