...letters that Brown-Beasley has written--and liberally distributed--in his attempt to be rehired suggest the passion of his feelings and his unwillingness to squeeze his criticism into polite legalese. To Gibson he wrote: "Although you hold a graduate degree in theology...you are not, and I must repeat are not, a 'religious' man in any sense meaningful to the overwhelming majority of the duties incumbent upon you as director of the Office of Fiscal Services. As Ortega put it so succinctly in his essay on Concord and Liberty, the word 'religio' does not derive from religare, to bind...
...leave his Math I teaching post as soon as the department voted to switch to his text several years ago. "I get embarrassed about using my own," Loomis confided. "Anyway, it's easier to use someone else's book. When you use your own, you're inclined to repeat yourself. Besides that, students gain more from learning two points of view," he said...
...most attention were those in Viking 2's biology laboratory, the small (1 cu. ft.) package designed to detect life on Mars. This week the lander is to stretch out its robot arm, scoop up a sample of Martian soil and dump it into the minilab, which will repeat the three life-seeking experiments already performed by Viking 1. If the scoop works and all goes according to schedule, the results of these experiments could be in early next week...

"The fashion is now to dwell on the deadly analogies between the Roman world and our own," wrote Herbert Muller in The Uses of the Past, "in the suspicion that history may repeat itself after all."

The echoes of the Old World...
During the second hour, smaller groups of students are drilled in the same lesson by apprentice teachers (juniors or seniors). With about as many routines as Henny Youngman-and his speed to boot-the apprentice whizzes around the class getting students to repeat what they have learned. The pace demands that each student make 65 responses an hour. Drills include imaginary telephone conversations, mock press conferences with "visiting dignitaries" and a wide variety of word games. The apprentice teacher, in effect, acts as a living language lab, snapping his fingers at each student for responses. Rassias' instructions: "Never...
