...deeper. Based on the combined desire to attract more students, and the premise that the goal is a more intelligent understanding of the public issues of the past and present, the courses would be designed around the topical approach. Examples would be courses on the corporation, on the economic impact of government activity, the present course on the Soviet Union, a half-year course on underdeveloped countries. In discussing this approach, Dunlop stressed that these would not be "watered down versions of the analytic approach but a new crosscut." It should be noted that, while not analytical, these courses would...
...Owen may find it indispensible to the running of Winthrop House, Mrs. Bundy may have her teapot on the top shelf, out of the reach of her four small children, and Mrs. Schlesinger Jr. may use hers for a still life.

...years. The seas are really flat, low plains filled with dust or lava. They must have been formed rather late in the moon's history, because few meteor craters pit their surfaces. Astronomer Gerard Kuiper of the University of Chicago thinks that the seas were made by the impact of asteroids up to 90 miles in diameter, which blasted great holes in the crust at a time when the moon's interior was hot and plastic. Dark lava welled up in the holes, and is visible there today. Kuiper thinks that the shock of the last big asteroid...
...impact of a college upon its students, says Stanley H. King, associate director of research at the Health Services, "has never received the full study it deserves." "We are not interested in the abnormal person, but in the average college student, and in the changes he undergoes during four years...
