...College’s only universally required class, Expository Writing, promises to teach you to craft lucid, beautiful prose, to state your ideas with complexity and nuance, and to call your teacher a “preceptor.” It will succeed in at least one of these. The Fates predetermine the semester in which you take Expos 20 and then determine which of your preferences you’ll be assigned to. Escape is impossible and transferring sections is difficult, so your initial choice is important and you have precious little information on which to base it. Enjoy...

"He's a great PowerPoint briefer, and he speaks at their level," says a congressional intelligence staffer who has seen the general in action with lawmakers. "He has that wonderful quality of being quite likable and unpretentious. And he would work those members assiduously...
...architect Norman Foster. What you'll be looking at may be the most gratifying specimen of Modernist invention since Foster's "gherkin," the torpedo-shaped office building he dropped on London two years ago. Or maybe since his transparent dome for the Reichstag in Berlin. Or his serene and lucid courtyard for the British Museum. You get the picture...
