...subjected to examination and assessment by peers. Openess of sources is thus indispensable for attainment of the primary purpose of the university, the discovery and communication of truths about important matters. As Professor Safran's Saudia Arabia is based entirely on unclassified materals, it poses no problem in regard to the scholarly effort to get closer to the truth about this important matter. The great interest in the issue of "openess" over sources of funding and relative neglect of the question of openess of sources reflects an erosion of the belief that scholars and scholarship, regardless of their sources...

Salinger's women, the new Phoebes and Frannys, distressed, astonished and ultimately strengthened by the bewildering demands of contemporary life...
...solar-power companies that sprang up in the past decade have mostly folded, even in the Sunbelt. Says Susan deWitt, executive director for the California Solar Energy Industries Association: "Our customers no longer feel the urgency to pursue renewable energy." The U.S. is not alone in that regard. Brazil's innovative alcohol-fuel program will be cut back 13% this year...
