...with the fact that "good teachers who spend 'too much' time with students too often are regarded by colleagues as men and women with misplaced academic goals"? Or is it that "too much" time spent with students caused the research of those two junior professors to fall off the pace set by academics for whom teaching is an unwelcome responsibility to be discharged with little effort? Another question is worth asking as well: If "very serious" consideration of teaching ability were serious enough, would the ranks of senior faculty be filled with as many lackluster teachers as now seems...
Gorbachev so far appears confident that expectations about perestroika can be kept in check without imposing rigid limits. But the Soviet Union, like China, may find that the process of reform cannot keep pace with public demands for more democracy. A poll taken by the China Social Survey System in cities across the country in July showed that 93.8% of respondents believed it was necessary to reform the political structure. When the Novosti press agency surveyed a sample group of Moscow factory workers after the Central Committee plenum last June for their views on democratization and glasnost, 83% said neither...
...only person who thinks such negotiations could forestall revolution or continued civil war. Dr. Dennis Worrall--main architect of the previously-mentioned proposals for the 1984 constitution, which followed Huntington's philosophy so closely--dramatically resigned from the ruling Nationalist Party early this year.

In addition to publishing regularly, the Hastings ethicists develop model legislation, draw up guidelines for public policy, consult in such tortured cases as Karen Anne Quinlan's fate and assist universities in setting up ethics departments. "People used to think of medical ethics as between doctor and patient at the bedside," says Callahan. "We consider wider...
...statements, prices on the Big Board steadied, perhaps from exhaustion. The Dow average eked out a .33 gain to close the week at 1950.76. Two bits of news helped: the Consumer Price Index rose at an annual rate of only 2.1% in September, less than half the 5.8% pace in August; the GNP grew at an annual rate of 3.8%, after adjustment for inflation, in the third quarter, up from 2.5% in the second quarter. Those figures seemed to indicate that the American economy, if not exactly sound in its fundamentals, was at least not deteriorating as drastically...
