...Compared with life, which is so often messy, chaotic, haphazard, and inconclusive, a football game is a masterpiece of logic and lucid or ganization...
Nader's report has already come under attack from at least one industry spokesman. L.

Courses range from imaginative interdisciplinary projects to haphazard bull sessions. Some students, who seemed unable to learn anything at conventional colleges, have blossomed at Franconia. Others have found license as unsatisfying as control...
