...people of more diverse ages, particularly women, an ability to deal with people of all ages is essential. While an age differential within an undergraduate House of one, two, three, or possibly a few more years is not large numerically.

The challenge of living with those of other ages is, I believe, a valuable and potentially rewarding experience for all. And a certain amount of "self-sacrifice," if the label must go to that extreme, might not be such a terrible fate for upperclassmen...
...termed the "never-to-be-developed" than the underdeveloped world. It will not work because there is no longer the room to expand, the abundance of natural resources, and the labor of support development that the West had a century ago. As with rich and poor within nations, the gap is widening between rich and poor nations.

But, worst of all, the Commerce Department's statistics underscored the fact that the nation's bill for petroleum imports soared by $18 billion last year. This more than offset exports of soybeans, jet planes computers and myriad other products...
