...sense; he knows the sound and aroma of mornings when the woods seem to renew themselves as the rider watches; his descriptions of equestrian combat belong on the same shelf with Hemingway and Tolstoy. His accounts of a South American republic where the main sources of power are the ox and the jet are masterpieces of irony and pure narrative. He tirelessly examines what he terms "the regency of pain." Like Dostoyevsky's, Kosinski's characters explore their own souls, always reaching for limits. Fabian even visits hospitals where he knows no patient, forcing himself to meet...
Sporting a tribal headdress and wearing a leopard-skin cloak over a rainbow-hued tunic, the Prime Minister of Zimbabwe Rhodesia moved into his official residence two weeks ago. Accompanied by a ululating crowd of followers, Bishop Abel Muzorewa rode in an ox-drawn cart to the stately white mansion -renamed from Independence House to Dzimbahwe (House of Chiefs)-that for 15 years was occupied by Ian Douglas Smith. The scene raised unsettling questions about Muzorewa's month-old multiracial government: Is it really more than an African show masking the continuation of effective white power? Is there...
...Memorial Library unfortunately failed to mention the issue of Afro-American Studies. Afro-American Studies was not only the subject of a featured speech by Afro-American Studies Department (AASD) concentrator Rick Guthrie, but was also high-lighted throughout the day as the main example of the institutional racism ox Harvard University.

"This is my Georgia," exclaimed the Egyptian leader, pointing to the landscape of thatched-roof mud houses and farmers tilling with ox-drawn wooden plows. The antique diesel locomotive, decorated with flowers and palms, was greeted along the way by the shrill sound of reed instruments and the rhythmic clapping of hands. Dangling from trees and lampposts, clustered on roofs and balconies, and crowding close to the rails, tens of thousands of robed...
...concerned, I have reluctantly come to the conclusion (reluctantly since I have a Cambridge PhD) that Harvard graduate work, at least in my field, is rather more rigorous than what one finds at Ox-bridge and, generally, a better preparation for university teaching. It is true that Ox-bridge PhD candidates are given a great deal of independence, but very few of those I was with at Cambridge considered this "exhilarating." I think we though of it more in the way of benign neglect. Peter Dale Senior Tutor, Adams House
