...orgies of obeisance, Khrushchev celebrates his anniversaries in private. In fact, he had little reason to celebrate-and was under doctor's orders not to. Though four years younger than Stalin at the time of his death, Khrushchev has high blood pressure and a heart condition. Moscow rumors persist that he suffered a stroke in recent months; twice, after absences that were officially attributed to flu, Nikita has himself told friends that he suffered a more serious ailment. He has markedly curtailed his social calendar, is on the wagon and a strict diet, and at diplomatic functions seldom seems...
Crime for Christmas. Despite such progress, the slums persist. As soon as a flophouse bed is vacated, it is immediately filled by one of the hordes of migrants who are once more moving north and west at the rate of thousands a day. In Charleston, Atlanta and other Southern cities, anonymous pamphlets urge Negroes to go north and live off fat charity provisions; their steady flow northward is creating an enormous and potentially explosive problem for the big cities.

Professor Leon Kirchner's Seminar in Composition (Music 268), for example, avoids any attempt to teach musical composition to the scholar for use in analyzing other composers' works. Its purpose is quite frankly to teach a creative art. The same probably holds true for English composition courses although the instructors of these courses are singularly unsure of just what their real purpose...
