...system has been accused of preparing students for nothing but rendering them apt at everything. The accusation is doubtless as unfair as the rewards are solid. Says Roland Falletaz, a teacher in Rome: "Most of our graduates go on to higher education and become engineers, doctors, diplomats, professors and journalists. This future alone justifies any of the expenses France undertakes. Is there a nobler or more disinterested aim than to educate the cadres, the elites of tomorrow...
Gold is no longer the coin of any realm, but it remains the one truly international money. It is the solid underpinning of central banks and national treasuries, the most favored way of paying debts among nations.

But Lemmon, though adroit as always, is now well along toward proving that the most gifted of farceurs cannot build a really distinguished career simply...
Although the first aim of the proposed course will be to give students a solid grounding in physics, directors of "Project Physics" hope that it will check the serious drop in recent years in the number of students who take the subject in high school...
