...Angola, not a function of Gulf revenues. Ever since the revolution started, the Portuguese have tried to offer the people plums. But the people have said. "It's too late. You've had your chance. From now on, we don't care how many schools you build. The object is how many schools we build, because it's our country. It's our oil. It's our resources...
...undersigned students of Soc. Sci. 15, object to the way certain students have taken issue with Professor Herrnstein's views--regardless of our opinions about his Atlantic article or about his action against said students. In publishing the article, Professor Herrnstein has exposed himself in his professional capacity to public criticism. But when this criticism exceeds the bounds of rational debate and takes the form of harassment and emotional attacks on his person, then we believe that the dissidents have misused their right to speak out. We oppose this form of dissent-and suggest that those students who have taken...
...ideas have so fascinated the public and provoked such controversy among physicists as the so-called "clock paradox."

Thus, if Einstein was correct, an astronaut traveling at extremely high speeds-say to a distant star and back-would age less during his trip than a twin brother who had remained on earth. Depending on the length of his mission, the astronaut could, upon...

The painting is conceived as a precious object, wrought with infinite care. So, too, with the work of the Rohan Master, or an anonymous miniaturist's image of Christ enthroned, surrounded by the four evangelists: one imagines the duke hypnotizing himself with the convoluted tendrils of gold leaf that fill the page...
