Having students repeat memorized passages or answers to questions suggests that Teacher Marva Collins had better re-study what Socrates was all about. Socratic questioning doesn't call for pat, memorized answers. Why do dedicated "back-to-basics" teachers feel that they must always swing to the opposite side of the current educational pendulum? Can't they combine the best of both worlds...
Poor Nancy and Gregory Huber can't seem to get it right. Nearly 18 hours into New Year's Day 1977 they produced their first child, Stephanie Jean, in the Penobscot Valley Hospital in Lincoln, Me. Having taken up residence in Brattleboro, Vt., the couple staged a repeat performance last week: 7-lb. 11-oz. Shaun came into the world at 1:43 a.m. on Jan. 1, Vermont's first baby of '78.

These were and are legitimate cautions. There is ample truth in the cliché that those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it.

But he may be willing to ignore Yasser Arafat's Palestine Liberation Organization if he works out what he feels is a fair solution to the Palestinian problem...
...they are not let go, and Beckett has placed them in what for him is hell, the brimstone of boredom. The merciless light makes each repeat the lies of life throughout eternity. "Is it that I do not tell the truth?" asks the wife (Sloane Shelton). "Is that it, that some day somehow I may tell the truth at last and then no more light at last, for the truth?" The light does not answer, but Beckett does, and the play is repeated, word for word, a second time and the beginning of a third Man is doomed, Beckett seems...
