...replace a shaken-up John Devin in the second period and face the Olympic firing line. The team that would try to shove pucks down the throats of Russian goalies in February was now using Francis as a target. He had to defend the Harvard net from the lighting-quick attack. What a way to begin your Harvard career...
David Pilbeam, associate dean of undergraduate education, was quick to offer the administration's usual response to this issue when asked about the Foundation's findings. "Tenure appointments here," he said, "do consider teaching very seriously." Maybe. But it's about time the Harvard Faculty, like their colleagues at Carnegie, realize that if that's true, then "very seriously" just isn't serious enough. Every student knows, because administrators have assured them, that the teaching of such departed junior professors as Alan Brinkley and Bradford Lee, who rated among the College's best teachers, was given adequate consideration before they...
...leaders not only expect to sign a treaty in Washington that will eliminate their medium- and shorter-range missiles, but hope to lay the groundwork for a much more significant 50% slash in long-range strategic missiles.

But in these paintings this incongruity becomes extreme. None are done from life, and yet some figures have...
...that amount to the imposition of triple daylight saving time. But they can't hold back the clock; night and a new, black dawn are surely imminent. In Britain the empire has collapsed upon itself. A long generation ago the colonists came home, followed by their colonials -- dark skins, quick minds and rebellious hearts from the East and West Indies and beyond. Now England's urban centers are postimperial melting pots. The streets simmer with new neighbors and old rancors, and people are getting burned...
