...frenzied two months of Anwar Sadat's peace initiative, the Egyptian President has been unfailingly optimistic. But late last week, at the close of the first round of meetings between the Israeli and Egyptian Defense Ministers in Cairo, Sadat's spirits seemed to falter. In an interview in the authoritative October magazine, Sadat said he had "absolutely no hope" that Egypt and Israel can agree on a declaration of principles that Cairo seeks as a basis for a comprehensive settlement. The peace process was in danger, he explained later, because of two important unresolved issues: the question...
Every fall, for instance, the dean of admissions and about four other staff members travel to Wallingford, Ct., where they spend two days interviewing students at Choate Rosemary Hall.

According to Susan Moriarty, a college guidance counselor at Choate Rosemary, the January trip is "essentially for the benefit of the athletic P.G.s [post-graduates...
Many astronauts say that the most spectacular sight they have seen in space is their own planet, a fertile blue ball glowing in a black void.

"What's your field?" she whispers to another hopeful. "Restoration," he replies, "but this interview is not in my field." "Mine either," she replies, "I'm a medievalist...
Downstairs two middle-aged professors drift past the job center, speaking of the relationship between metaphors and real life. A girl with waist-length hair passes them with tears in her eyes. The convention is almost over, and she has failed to arrange a single interview. "There's got to be a better way of doing this," sighs a Wisconsin Ph.D. candidate. "Half the people here are enjoying themselves because they are secure in their jobs." He stares nervously as a department head who has just interviewed him passes by without a sign of recognition.
