First, the myth that all section leaders are adequately qualified scholars and teachers must be exploded. Professors should accept the fact that some of their TFs are inept and attempt to compensate. They should make it more comfortable for students to complain about section leaders and should permit students to switch sections simply on the basis of disliking a section leader. In Ec 10 currently, dissatisfied students are forced to come up with far more creative excuses...

After Philadelphia's former law-and-order Mayor Frank Rizzo was beaten in a 1983 Democratic primary by black City Managing Director Wilson Goode, he refused to stay quietly in retirement.

...PRINCESS Bride is also plagued by an inept and poorly directed cast. Andre the Giant is endearing but inarticulate in his cameo role. Wallace Shawn, star of My Dinner With Andre, must have drunk too much in that flim, and after this role he should reconsider his career. And Wright, who makes her film debut in The Princess Bride should get out of acting before it is too late...
