...maybe we have forgotten. Grasping the essential character of the beautiful has long been the object of philosophical and theoretic interest and finds expression through this exhibit's formalist regard. In recent years, there has been a revival of aestheticism; witness the Regarding Beauty exhibition last year at the Hirshhorn. Recent literary investigations also suggest an atmosphere of palpable eagerness to explore beauty topically.

If Western politicians do take steps to reduce the taxes on oil, then it will be a signal to OPEC that further increases can be applied to the price of oil. A number of well-known social and technological measures are available for reducing oil demand, but our governments lack...
...budget last Sunday with a markedly smaller allocation to student groups. Granting money to these organizations is the council's most central duty to students, and the one it performs most effectively. Without more funds the council will be increasingly unable to carry out its mission in this regard. This is why the council should unilaterally raise the termbill as it proposed to do last year...
