...students, despite the similarity of tactics and goals. Negro student associations are as autonomous as their campuses; they have no central organization, and not even a common name. Some of them, in fact, are out-and-out competitors for power. Last week, after attending a stormy meeting of several rival black student groups at U.C.L.A., two black students were shot and killed on campus by unknown assailants...
Isle of Gold. Ray was not alone in the unusual claim. A competing company, Atlantis Development Corp., had started dredging and filling operations on the same off-Florida reefs for a $250 million "Atlantis Isle of Gold."

The poet who wrote "the proper study of mankind is man" made no great study of himself, whereas Byron was his own biographer and the actor-manager of his own theater in every line he wrote. The clues to Pope's nature are to be found in the quality of his age, with its political-theological...
