...mistaken in believing that in order to respect the privacy of people, it is not "appropriate for the college to note the occasion of the death" in a more public, college-wide way. The opportunity as a community to mourn the departed can help us to realize how much our lives combine. With this realization we have a better chance, both individually and as a group, to seek to improve the lives of those who remain...
Detroit Policeman Raymond Cruz of City Primeval (1980), for instance, is mistaken for a high school shop teacher by a girl he tries to pick up in a bar.

Prof. Dershowitz also criticized the HJLSA's disruption...
...education of a TV anchor to the buying patterns of Hispanic migrant workers, that jump confusingly from page to page after page. At its best, the Times can be as informative and interpretive as any daily in the English language. At its worst, it seems to reflect a mistaken notion that readers want to spend all day with...
