...Faculty adopts the logic of the task force report and insists on imposing required courses, the suggested courses in the report should be rethought. The core curriculum task force would have done well to understand that there are many students who are thrilled to leave the sciences behind them in high school. These students will do anything to avoid the rigorous type of science courses that the task force recommends. Unless Wilson also intends to be the policeman for these offerings, it will not take students long to spot the least scientific offering and flood it. Such a path seems...

When South Korea protested and Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos sent a special envoy urging Thailand to "rethink its move," Foreign Minister Chartichai Choonhavan had a blunt reply: "We have already rethought it." Thailand also announced that it would enter into a cultural and technological agreement with the Soviet Union...
...Cultural Revolution and subsequent stability allowed the Chinese unprecedented strength and confidence. According to B.U. Professor Ishwer C.

Karol remained pessimistic of this plan, pointing out that Fidel envisioned a quick political solution ignoring the real problem of changing social relationships...
Buckled Planes. Thus, with incredible bravado, Picasso and Braque (neither had yet turned 30) set out to displace a history of visual representation that had lasted more than 500 years. Every element of art had to be rethought in terms of a new function-line, color, light, volume, space. Thus the solidity of the rocks, lighthouse and boats in Braque's Harbor in Normandy, 1909, is not achieved through light-and-shade modeling, still less by perspective; instead, each form begins to buckle into planes and projections, and every shape is evenly compressed against the eye. Even space, which...
