...quiet poetry room, nestled next to the 24/7 Farnsworth Room on the top floor of Lamont, is the place to stumble on inspiration. Poetry books and recordings surround the few tables in the spacious reading room, which overlooks Tercentenary Theatre. The spire of Memorial Church stands tall against the blue sky. If you get bored of writing that paper, you can put on your reading glasses, lean back on a blue couch, and toss open an anthology of Wallace Stevens or the latest issue of the Kenyon Review. You can also go to the computer at the front...
...History Department Library is nestled next to the department itself on the second floor of Robinson Hall. It is a convenient place to escape to in between class--especially if you are a History concentrator who lives in the Quad. The library is always quiet, with no more than two or three people studying there at a time.

The upshot of modern communication methods is that you get to choose whom you talk to, and people tend to pick only those who agree with them...
...Home If there is one region in South Africa on which the ANC might have focused its efforts to build democracy and progress, it is the Eastern Cape around East London. Drive out of the city and after an hour you descend into a steep, forested canyon along whose floor snakes the River Kei, the old boundary between white-run South Africa and the rolling prairies which apartheid authorities designated the black "homeland" of Transkei, meaning "across the Kei." During apartheid, the Transkei was a place of destitution: thousands of mud-walled, grass-roofed huts where people lived without running...
