...into Greece's Kavouri hotel for a while. The beach resort south of Athens has turned over all but twelve of its 72 rooms to Saudi Arabia's ex-King Saud and retinue, who spend $33,333 a day. Six of Saud's 47 sons also came along for the ride. Some ride. Piloting five Maseratis, a Buick Riviera and a Cadillac as if they had all Araby to maneuver in, they have careered into two pedestrians, busted a bus, wrecked a private car and demolished a lamppost.

A government major concentrating in Latin American politics might "live and work" in Argentina, Brazil or Peru. An anthropology major specializing in archeology might spend a year digging in Greece. Flexibility and individual initiative would be the key features of the five year degree. Financial support and travel would be desirable but not necessary. The entire program would be made an optional addition, not a prerequisite, to the present leave of absence. And its success...
