...mention what they call the campus's short institutional memory. With an entirely new generation of students every four years, administrators point out the difficulty in maintaining steady, progressive development in some areas of student concern because of the transient nature of the College.

In the more contagious, lepromatous form, many microorganisms are present in the skin and in nasal secretions; patches and lumps can occur all over the body, and the facial lines tend to deepen. Leprosy does not usually cause gross mutilations. But it can cause a numbness of the hands and feet that leads to accidental burning or mutilation of extremities. This is a source of the myth that leprosy causes parts of the body to drop...
...sentiment, or lack of it, is common in the business. As one eminent three-year-old after another fell apart this spring - Deputy Minister, Stalwart, Lets Dont Fight, et al. - the horsemen's reaction was generally to shrug and say, "This is racing." But the fans tend more to be of the Black Beauty school of horse lovers, and the anthropomorphizing before the 108th Derby was fierce...
