...their fight to win back public trust, both Kenyon and Jackson have shaken up their moribund organizations. Many of the senior Northeast and NRC officials identified in the original TIME story have either retired or been forced to resign.

...know how to bluff (fabricate a conflict to escape a section with a dismal teaching fellow); you do not know whether trading in your cards (switching sections) will net you a better hand (TF); and you have to know when to walk away and give up the fight (resign yourself to the fact that there is no room in the best section, that the class lacks a single good section leader or that the head TF will not accept as a conflict your standing 3 p.m. nap). Trying unsuccessfully to change sections can make you feel...
