Richard does have his shortcomings, chief among them his utter inability to beat around the bush. If a teacher is doing a bad job, Richard will say so flat out and not skimp on the details. He'll do the same for transfer students who come from colleges where bad writing gets good grades. Criticism of one's teaching or writing is never easy to take, but it is dished out as fairly in Expos as one is likely to get anywhere else. Richard's language is rich in metaphor and he has a host of stories that he uses...
...gets, certain programs should remain off-limits from Faculty shears. The need-blind admissions policy--which recently has been threatened at other Ivy League colleges--cannot be touched. We firmly believe that a Harvard education should be available to everyone regardless of financial need. Likewise, the Faculty shouldn't skimp on beefing up a security program that is still inadequate.

Whatever animals get the gift of intelligence, it is the player's job to nurture and protect them, guiding their technological development by directing investments in science, medicine, agriculture and the arts. But playing the Almighty, I discover, is complicated -- and dangerous. Skimp on medical research, and your SimEarthlings are pestered by plagues. Cut back in the philosophy department, and wars break out. Let the master race linger too long in the industrial age, and the planet is choked with pollution. If, on the other hand, you steer your beings adroitly toward the ages of information and nanotechnology (molecule building...
