...first glance, says Kerr, the multiversity is merely "a series of individual faculty entrepreneurs held together by a common grievance over parking." Where ancient academies had a single soul, "the multiversity has several-some of them quite good, although there is much debate on which souls really deserve salvation." In form, it is a remarkable consensus of historic patterns-British-oriented undergraduate life, German-modeled graduate studies, American-style service to the state, all of it kept "as confused as possible for the preservation of the whole uneasy balance...

On the dusty railroad platform, the stationmaster nervously paced back and forth waiting for the expected passengers, seasonal workers who commute to their jobs in the vineyards. But scarcely a soul showed up at the station, for in Sanlucar and nearby Jerez de la Frontera 3,900 workers were out on strike for a $2.50 daily wage (a 50? boost), portal-to-portal pay between the vineyard and home, and two-not one-daily cigars, the slang word for the workers...
