...higher education is concerned, than Asian Americans. They don't have many models in our history books." Other educators worry about judging a curriculum solely on the basis of its treatment of racial and ethnic issues. "If you take this to its logical conclusion, you get Lebanon or Northern Ireland," says Bill Honig, California's superintendent of public instruction...
...Britain last week the outlawed Irish Republican Army, as part of its stepped-up campaign beyond the borders of Northern Ireland, assassinated Ian Gow, a friend of Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and a Conservative Member of Parliament, with a bomb that wrecked his Montego car in the driveway of his home. Three days earlier in West Germany, the Red Army Faction almost succeeded in killing Hans Neusel, State Secretary of the Interior Ministry and Bonn's top antiterrorist expert, in a similar attempt.

Taking a cue from Carroll, Keene read the map as a drawing of the British Isles with mirror images of towns outlined on opposite sides of a blank, gridless chessboard, which he took to be Ireland. Turning to the code, he concluded that WK meant white king, representing the police, that BQ (black queen) was the missing woman, and that BK (black king) was the suspect. Using these clues, Keene deduced that Theresa Terry must be buried in the Irish town of Limerick. His theory tallied with police discoveries that the suspect had hired a car and used credit cards...
