Holloway's remarks and his organization's recent innovation reflect the hedging attitude that prevails among the major testing firms. The parental pressure--and influential votes that it portends--has led the Federal Trade Commission to get involved. Groups like the New York Public Interest Research Group have proposed that ETS make available test solutions and answers. Currently, students have no idea of how they have done when they leave the examination room. Skepticism also prevails over the use of experimental questions within the body of the test; questions of fairness in this area have also been raised...

Intercontinental makes a practice of putting up units that reflect their surroundings. In China, the Intercontinentals will all have different designs that match their neighborhoods.

Their post-Bondian hardware ranges from a Guppy-class submarine to the world's biggest tanker, the Dragon M-47 antitank rocket to the Soviet Dragunov rifle. In most cases, the hero...
Grandiose, perhaps, but Harvard's tenure proceedings reflect that hope. An ad hoc committee, composed of President Bok, Dean Rosovsky, and a group of prominent scholars unaffiliated with Harvard, decide on the tenure appointments, ensuring the recipient of a tenured post will be widely known in his or her field. However, some people are beginning to doubt that Harvard can continue to attract the best scholars...
