Physically, the school for which Hamilton set this goal is as spectacular as its symbol, the rainbow. Its 268-acre campus abounds in landscaped lawns, red and yellow hibiscus, shower trees and coconut palms. Semicircled by the greenery of Manoa Valley's bordering volcanic mountains, the campus overlooks Honolulu, Waikiki Beach and Mamala Bay. Student dress is almost as colorful as the sunsets. An Indian girl in a scarlet sari strolls with a Chinese girl in sneakers and blue jeans. Caucasian girls in muumuus and poi pounders (an above-knee muumuu with long, tight pants) vie for attention with...
Shake-Up. Until four years ago, the intellectual life was as placid as the setting. Then former Governor William F.

The U.S. has fixed silver at $1.29 an ounce-the same price that Alexander Hamilton set for it in 1792-but miners complain that the sum is too low to pay for the slow, costly process of digging and refining it. Because of this economic disparity, the U.S. has only four important silver mines in operation, gets most of its supply as a byproduct of other metals. Last year the U.S. mined only one-ninth as much as the 323 million ounces of silver that it consumed, made...
