Serious students will understand how imposing graduate students on undergraduates may be convenient for professors busy with research or unconcerned with students in general, but they are not fooled about meaningful instruction or genuine responsibility. They may surely agree, as Dean Steven E. Ozment rightly fears, that it is time to "think this thing through." Geoffrey C. Cook...
Owning a video store, which not long ago seemed like a can't-miss way to make a living, is getting to be as nerve-racking as sitting through a Steven Spielberg thriller. Last week videocassette retailers were in an uproar over the disorderly debut of the home-video version of Spielberg's Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.

The attention to surface detail is almost excessive. Glass panes are sandblasted and etched with miniature geometric murals. When Holl has room to move around (for example, in his designs for a retail and residential building, as yet unbuilt, at Florida's Seaside), his work seems sublime rather than precious or cramped...
