...course, that in terms of tenure, it is a dead end, as the practice if not the theory of the department's promotion shows. From this stems the malaise that the junior faculty suffers. In other respects, teaching load, pay and so forth, there is nothing in particular to gripe about...
...your reporter. The department as a whole tends not to function as a scholarly or personal community--not surprisingly for a large institution in an urban setting with distractions and other communities aplenty. The junior faculty are in this sense no more marginalized than the senior, there is no particular exclusion reserved for them.

...underrated artist Raoul Dufy. At root, Hockney is popular because his work offers a window through which one's eye moves without strain or fuss into a wholly consistent world.

That could lead to a worldwide recession and a renewal of the Third World debt crisis. Such economic turmoil would cause severe...

The CBS Evening News, in particular, turned into an odd cross between PM Magazine and The McLaughlin Group, with Rather strolling around Red Square with his temporary co-anchor, Charles Kuralt, and sitting down each evening to gab with three correspondents about the day's events. Adding to the prepackaged, magazine- show look: Rather, unlike Brokaw and Jennings, taped his segments several hours in advance, so he could be seen in the bright sunshine rather than...
