...often write a fan letter, but I'd like to congratulate whoever wrote the story in the July 21 issue of TIME on The Music Man. It was brilliantly done from start to finish, and the cover made me roar with laughter. The article was just as great Americana as is the play...
...proper [U.N.] auspices would, on the one hand, dispel the false allegations that there is aggression being carried on by the U.S. or by the United Kingdom in the Middle East.

...more courses than his non-Honors colleague, and is given, in many departments, individual tutorial. This consists of a weekly or fortnightly meeting with his tutor, when the two discuss the reading assigned by the tutor, or perhaps discuss a paper the student has written. Obviously informal, these meetings often develop into friendships between student and tutor (who may be a distinguished professor) which far outlast one's undergraduate career...
