...there is definitely something there, and one wonders how the play might have turned out if the material were somehow a little bit more manageable and polished. At times one might even think that the genre is wrong: as a radio play the musicality of the monologues, the ritual speeches, and the sound effects would come across very well as would the more expressive silences. But so long as one overlooks the difficulties that no doubt come with the new territory, "The Hyacinth Macaw" certainly offers a philosophical challenge, if not always a cohesive play...
...admitted that "there were such cases" at the Normal plant but insisted that they were dealt with properly. Nakamura also expressed concern that Americans would draw the wrong conclusions about the cars that continue to roll off the assembly line.

But the very purpose of affirmative action is to supplement criteria like test scores with a more complete view of applicants' other qualities. In his report, President Rudenstine acknowledges the gap, but rightly points out, first, that a fair admissions program does not look at numbers alone, and second, that black SAT scores have been gradually converging with white...
...western part of the state that I had my eye on, but on the first day of our trip we ended up in Harvard Yard. My father, who is a Law School alum, said he wanted to come back to campus briefly to see his Alma Mater. Somehow, I was lured to the Yard for a visit before heading off to visit the colleges I actually wanted to attend...
