...also know that we are in for a very long day?s journey on writer-director Bruce Beresford?s endlessly predictable 'Paradise Road,'" says TIME's Richard Schickel. "Do we know that the ship carrying the women and children to safety as Singapore surrenders to the Japanese will be sunk, Red Cross markings or not?

The first campus elections last spring were mostly a raucous medley of fluorescent posters with minimal substantive content. But they had the effect of galvanizing politicos into real-world type politicking, attempting to gain the support of various College constituencies, to influence the press...
