...knew there was an uncivil war between the porch people and the deck people? Or that it could make for engrossing ?news?? In its broadest definition, news is what you didn?t know you didn?t know until someone told you. And news - of high and medium culture, of people who have achieved and survived, of all things great and silly - is what you?ll find on ?CBS Sunday Morning...
Differences in class sizes also make a difference overall. In 2002-2003 academic year, students in small classes—defined as those with between one and 24 students—posted a GPA of 13.37. Medium classes, or those with 25 to 74 students, averaged a 12.88 and large classes, or those with 75 or more students, came in at 12.36. This data is also in keeping with historical trends...
...Though his tenure as host of The Tonight Show lasted only five years, from 1957 to '62, the former disc jockey and B-movie actor made late-night TV both a habit and an event.

...sound like the names of enduring works of cinematic art. But they are, as surely as Chuck Jones, Bob Clampett and Friz Freleng were among the great comedy directors; as surely as Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck are two of the deftest farceurs to grace the movie medium. Now, on a four-disc DVD set, ?Looney Tunes Golden Collection,? the magnificent menagerie lives again, pristinely restored. Any fan can argue with the choices - why not more Clampett stuff? where is Tex Avery!? - but not with the hours of cogent analysis and interviews. They show that what the front office dismissed...
