...small radius and as it accelerates encompasses an ever-expanding field. But there have been seminars, and seminars, and seminars, that have lacked both breadth and "centrifugalness." As the proportion of seminar leaders drawn from the junior faculty increases, there is little reason to suppose that the proportion of narrow seminars will decrease. To save the freshman's program from schizophrenia--Gen. Ed. courses on one side, seminar on the other--the seminars need the guidance of the Committee on General Education...
...narrow dirt road runs near U.S. 50, close to Middleburg, Va. As it comes to a dead end, a green-painted plank gate on the left bars the entrance to a private byway named Segregation Lane, which runs along the zealously observed boundary between the hunt territories of the Piedmont Fox Hounds and the Orange County Hunt.

Best bet is that the change was a sudden cooling that marked the beginning of the Pleistocene, when the first great glaciers were creeping over the continents. Since...
...mean to make a case for Billy as an Oxford-bred Harry Belafonte narrow-nosed Negro either. Billy has the drawl, the kinky hair, the broad nose and lips and I haven't the vaguest idea of what his education is, though I'd guess it's about high school level...
