...their children are illegitimate. At Victoria, the ramshackle capital on the island of Mahe, the town clock, a silver-painted model of Big Ben in the main square, strikes the hour twice for the benefit of those who forget to count the first time. Until recently, the Seychelles' liveliest political issue was whether it would rain on the Legislative Council election...
That was enough. The Salzburg Seminar in American Studies has become widely renowned among European scholars, journalists and rising bureaucrats as one of the liveliest and most respected educational experiences available. Launched in 1947 by a group of Harvard students appalled at the lack of knowledge in Europe about U.S. institutions, it now has turned out some 5,000 graduates, will conduct its 100th seminar next month...

As the 400 TV cameras monitor every passing license plate, the analyzers encode the digits and the computer compares them...
Hello, Dolly! The pressure also stems from the closeness of the girls to one of the liveliest faculties of any small U.S. college. There is one teacher for every seven students; they include Novelist Bernard Malamud, Poet Howard Nemerov, Composer Lionel Nowak, and, formerly, Erich Fromm, Jose Limon, W. H. Auden and Theodore Roethke. Academic rankings are banished-teachers are "Mr.," "Miss" or "Mrs." and department chairmanships are rotated. Girls are especially close to their counselors, whom they meet weekly for "encounters" on every subject from existentialist philosophy to their love life. Graduates often fetch up in the arts; among...
