...only follow the lead of other universities, it should lead them and institute a policy of reducing tuition. After an article in Time Magazine last March declared that if Harvard spent another percent of the endowment it could cut undergraduate tuition nearly in half, it has been a tantalizing notion...
...black, the New South is embodied in a black mayor and a white sheriff, both of whom came swiftly forward to declare the attack an isolated, containable hate crime. "We have no Aryan Nation or K.K.K. in Jasper County," said Sheriff Billy Rowles. Mayor R.C. Horn reinforced the notion: "We don't show any animosity here. This town has been about loving each other. If it was different, I wouldn't be mayor." Residents of Jasper (pop. 7,500) loudly decried the murder; so did relatives of the suspects.

Child experts say that by the time many kids hit adolescence, they have reached a point where they aren't particularly obsessed with sex but have grown to accept the notion that solid courtships--or at least strong physical attractions--potentially lead to sexual intercourse. Instead of denying it, they get an early start preparing for it--and playing and perceiving the roles prescribed for them. In Nashville, 10-year-old Brantley whispers about a classmate, "There's this girl I know, she's nine years old, and she already shaves her legs and plucks her eyebrows...
