...work student leaders do. Most of us agree that one goal of education is, in the happy phrase of Master Brower of Adams House, "a mind that speaks for itself." Perhaps we all forget once in a while that such a mind needs a forum in which to be heard, a platform on which to stand, or an audience to enlighten. In practical terms, this means that the enormous intellectual value of college drama would be lost to both actors and audience without the producers who don't walk out in the middle; that college writers can be heard only...

Hopping on his motor scooter, he zipped out to the field, took to the air in his Dragonfly, stunted breathtakingly for 15 minutes. "You can't beat him," said...
...still predawn hours, the old man sleeping in a room in St. Joseph's Hospital, Phoenix, Ariz, was heard to sigh deeply, and then he was dead. So last week departed Frank Lloyd Wright, 89, three days after a successful operation to remove an intestinal block. With his passing, the U.S. lost its greatest architect-a lone, yeasty genius who devoted his life to working out his own unique vision of what architecture could be in a democratic society.
