...hard to say whether Slingerland resigned out of pride or because she thought the move would accomplish something, but most council members and U Hall observers seemed to regard it as an unusual exercise in futility. After the storm blew over, the council gave Expos a little more money and sent the office a nice conciliatory note--and next year, all freshmen will take Expos, under a new standardized curriculum.

He became a confidant of Henry Kissinger and the friend and counselor to Presidents and Kings. In the process, he lost touch with Arkansas, and last week the people of his state...
