...books are expensive—but it is difficult for students to become excited about a class when they spend more time scavenging for the readings than actually perusing the material. Professors truly interested in generating enthusiasm for their courses should make greater efforts to help students acquire the material??either by creating sourcebooks or by putting multiple copies of readings on reserve at the libraries. Powerful ideas should echo in the heads of graduating seniors—not the humming and clicking of a busy photocopier...
...deploying a new Joint Strike Fighter. Not only is a missile strike from a rogue state or an attack from a foreign military highly unlikely, but the devastation caused by an attack on a nuclear facility—or, even worse, if terrorists were able to steal fissile material??could dwarf the effect of any conventional bomb. Yet a completed missile defense project may cost hundreds of billions before its completion, and the Department of Defense will spend over $7.8 billion just this year.

His photograms—prints created sans negative, by placing objects directly on photosensitive material??resemble a cross between the line and drips of Pollock and the intertwining strands of a DNA molecule. In his photogram from the series “Details of Love” (1992), childlike and uneven multi-colored (but predominantly black) squiggles dance around the browned surface, pulling and leaping and creating a tangled web.

Stuntz says this quality forms the bedrock of HLS and will always distinguish it from other schools. This “raw material,” Stuntz claims, is better...
