...upheaval a pure narrow gray band of personal experience. The subject--four Poles stranded in London during the imposition of martial law naturally invites an impassioned ideological treatment, but Skolimkowski's film is, on the surface, politically devoid.

The law states, "A university may not exclude a handicapped student from a specifically requested course offering because it is not offered in an accessible location." In several other clauses, this is extended to other aspects...
