Eighteen-year-old Brigitte Bardot made her first splash there in a bikini, wiggling her way into the hearts of photographers; Simone Signoret's smoldering stare set the place afire back in 1949; Sophia Loren jumped from bulging starlet to blossoming actress when she made the scene in 1955. Ever since it began, the Cannes Film Festival has been a springboard for victory and vulgarity, for fine art and flapdoodle. This year the festival is 20 years old, but it is still deep in the throes of adolescence: serious and intense one moment, strained and silly the next...
Instead of finding the kind of teacher who seeks what Harvard College Dean John Monro calls "a mind-to-mind confrontation" with students, undergraduates often stare across 30 rows of seats at a listless scholar reading from his own textbook and begrudging the time spent away from his esoteric research. In smaller classes, students are likely to meet some harassed teaching assistant absorbed in his specialized graduate studies, sometimes not even teaching in his own sphere of knowledge.

...Poland: the chill Baltic waters and harsh Hanseatic architecture of Sopot and Gdansk (formerly Danzig). In Warsaw, a city rebuilt after being 87% destroyed in World War II, they could bargain for paintings along the broad Nowy Swiat, drink ice-cold Wyborowa vodka at the Krokodyl, or simply stare at the Vistula when the city's drabness overcame them. Rumania stands in warm counterpoint-from the white sand beaches of Mamaia on the Black Sea, where 30 well-appointed new tourist hotels stand, to the clean, well-lighted cafés of Bucharest's Boulevard Magheru, where...
