...first glance, the semi-isolation of the Olofstorp contingent seems an indefensibly cynical attempt to insulate them from the ethnic and racial diversity that is increasingly the norm in Sweden. Ekenberg sees it differently. "We don't segregate. We have classes that are 50% immigrant and 50% Swedish," he insists. "We try to put them together as much as we can." He says the main reason the children from Olofstorp pursue most of their studies together is the school's policy of keeping incoming classes as intact as possible, regardless of where the students hail from. That is why Katarina...
College days can be a time for fanciful play and practical jokes--as both The Crimson and our rival the Harvard Lampoon, a semi-secret Sorrento Square organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine--can both attest. Thus it came as no surprise when Lampoon editor Vali D.

Or should it become an independent or semi-autonomous state with loose links to its two mighty neighbors...
...Economically speaking, O'Neill is this Bush administration's Colin Powell - unimpeachably qualified and reassuringly pragmatic. He vowed Wednesday to continue Clinton's strong dollar policy, a semi-sacred cow on Wall Street, but his business/manufacturing background makes him sympathetic to trade deficits. He's brave enough to have once backed an energy tax, but quick enough to have disavowed that stance soon after getting the call from the Austin oilmen. In short, he's the kind of guy who can talk about a trillion-dollar tax cut without everyone worrying that George W. Bush has ordered all White House...
...play is semi-autobiographical. I based it on some true incidents in my early life in South Africa, one being the murder of my grandfather on his farm. It was the very early days of the struggle for freedom, the late '60s, and we had never heard of anything like that happening before. My grandfather was a gentle man who cared deeply for the black families who lived unofficially on his farm. His attacker was never found; he was assumed to be a freedom fighter from Rhodesia who randomly attacked my grandparents. It was such a painful event...
