...protest the University's intransigence and lack of constructive proposals to put an end to a system of institutionalized racism, and to promote a meaningful exchange of views between the community and the Corporation. In characterizing the 15 or so people who felt strongly enough about the issue to sleep out in the cold as a beer-swilling mob is not only inaccurate reporting, but shows plainly that, for Mr. Howe, bias is more important than evidence. Mr. Howe, to my knowledge, was not at the scene of the Encampment and neither was his presence noted the next morning. Even...
...Brazelton Neonatal Behavioral Assessment Scale has been called a "landmark" and it only requires a flashlight, a red ball, a bell, a rattle and a safety pin.

On the third and fourth nights of our trek, we are invited to sleep at peasant homes. During the days, we frequently take long rests at farmhouses. The contras chat easily with our hosts, some of whom are their friends and relatives...
...write. Her work may differ from year to year-she calls herself "a communicator"- but work in some form comes first. And she is prepared to suffer for it. For years, she had stage fright so acute that she would go through a show, step by step, in her sleep every night. Her feet are so sensitive that she changes shoes three or four times a day to vary the pressure points. Yet in rehearsal she dances until she has blisters, and for a TV special she recorded take after take until she collapsed in Konchalovsky's arms...
