...more trump to play. While the administration cannot force a department to comply with the regulations, they can block additional professor appointments until departments make tangible exertions toward increasing Faculty involvement in tutorials. Bowersock is counting on this "power of persuasion" to give teeth to the reforms. Nonetheless, dangling additional faculty appointments before department heads does not address the central issue. Faculty attitude toward the personalized approach of the tutorial process must change, not the shape or size of the reward offered to departments to lure them back to teaching...
...historians would care to push the analogy with the chaos and disintegration of the Middle Ages too far. Nonetheless, a few tantalizing similarities exist between then and now, among them the revival of millenarian sects and predictions about the world's end. Psychics and E.S.P. fanciers, for instance, have dusted off the 1934 predictions of Edgar Cayce: he forecast upheavals at the poles, the sinking of most of Japan into the sea, and the destruction of Los Angeles, San Francisco and New York. In his recent book We Are the Earthquake Generation, Jeffrey Goodman explains that the latterday mystics...

Of course, nobody answers the question of how states could balance their budgets without the billions of dollars in aid the federal government hands them each year. People know only that inflation hurts, and conservative economists and groups like the National Taxpayers Union tell them that federal deficit...

Nothing but Mexico's newfound energy resources is likely to motivate American leaders to do so; nonetheless, the change is welcome no matter how self-interested the reason. The U.S. should not allow its past mistakes to shape its future policy. In the future, both nations should vigorously pursue compromise on issues such as illegal immigration, trade policy, U.S. purchase of Mexican oil and natural gas and Mexico's internal economic development...
Before Mexico struck oil, the United States could play the role of parent--an inexcusably selfish, and often negligent parent, but a parent nonetheless. The disguise, however, was too transparent and too often cast aside to conceal the raw facts of America's superior might and Mexico's dependence on the U.S. as a market for 70 per cent of its exports and as a source of foreign investment...
