...espousing these ideals, the report nevertheless fails to preserve perhaps the Core’s greatest virtue—a required component in morality and ethics. Without such a requirement, the report, despite its best intentions, threatens to push the University in the direction of a value-free shopping mall. We’re all happy to see the Core go, and the proposed system of distribution requirements will likely lead to happier customers. But, even with beefed-up advising, the new system seems woefully unprepared to guide students to “grow in wisdom” as Dexter...
...people who live in projects like those where last week's riots raged are treated as second-class citizens. We have less access to the rights and services of the republic--schools are run down; job opportunities are remote. What we do have is a supermarket, a mall for low-cost shops, a few fast-food joints and maybe a movie complex. That's it. The idea is to create just enough diversion so we stay where we are.

...when Jackson, Miss., offers $8 million, Garland, Texas, ups it to $23.7 million. Council Bluffs, Iowa, is in for $20 million. Bass Pro is a destination store, one that attracts enough traffic to benefit other stores--and restaurants and hotels--in any city or mall, where it is the anchor tenant. After all, notes Hagale, there are just too many cookie-cutter mall stores. "We don't build gray boxes," he says. He's not bragging. The 130,000-sq.-ft. Bass Pro Outdoor World in Hanover, Md., has a massive fish tank, offers how-to lessons in fishing...
