James Q. Wilson, Shattuck Professor of Government and the task force chairman, has repeatedly said that eight was a rather arbitrarily chosen number of core areas, and the council apparently agreed, merging several areas into one in the new proposal...
...report examined enrollment in academic courses in secondary schools in 1971-72 to determine student reaction to the courses, but the researchers underestimated enrollment in the science programs, Fletcher G. Watson, Shattuck Professor of Education, said yesterday...

A revue of popular songs and a small-scale operetta by a famous composer are far from risk-free recipes for success, yet despite this Evening's unevenness, one leaves savoring a taste that lingers. For that, Grant...
