...excellence" is not to become a bad joke. Tenure is a license for laziness and incompetence. Ph.D. degrees should have to be revalidated every ten years; excepted should be only those who publish significant results of their independent research, which, incidentally, should take care of the "publish or perish" nonsense. Also, the graduate student part-time instructor is much more valuable than you make him appear. He is an economic necessity; without him, many important elementary courses could never be taught at all. And he is often a truly excellent teacher...
...problem is not the overblown cry that professors are forced to "publish or perish." Most of the good teachers, in fact, cannot resist publishing; they have something they want to say to the world beyond their classrooms.

As harsh as that prescription sounds, Austria seems willing to swallow it to bolster its economic strength...
...astronauts eventually soar be yond the moon to explore the distant planets, they will find Jupiter a dangerous place to visit. Even if they manage to withstand the tremendous pull of Jupiter's gravity and survive the frigid atmosphere of ammonia, methane, hydrogen and helium, they may well perish in the gigantic storms that sweep the planet every decade...
