Carter's and Jordan's criticisms are a reminder that the Washington press does have an occupational tilt. Many reporters feel that any Administration has vast resources in speechwriters, press secretaries and propagandists on payroll to disseminate the party line. To counter this barrage, the press concentrates on what is being concealed, evaded or denied. Jordan might call this emphasis cynicism (seeing everything tinted by one's own crabbed view), but it can as well be skepticism (doubting, and waiting to be convinced). When press and officeholders contend, readers and viewers should be the final skeptics...
Even among educators who worry about too much tilt to technology, there is growing agreement that a computer is a powerful motivator of a school-age child. Students with access to a micro spend more time studying and solving problems. Those who write at their keyboards compose more freely and revise their work more thoroughly.

In the university town of Salamanca, where Sancho once studied with the philosopher Unamuno, they wander into a Spanish house of prostitution. The unsuspecting Quixote comments, "What a large staff of charming young women for so small a hotel." Ignorant of films, for example, he picks a pious-sounding title for his first viewing. X-rated grunts of A Maiden's Prayer, however, make him wonder: "They seemed to suffer such a lot. From the sounds they made." His more worldly...
PERHAPS IT WAS the provocative tilt of her head, or the perfect pouting lips. Her lovely oval eyes were large and not quite innocent. Smooth skin, smooth, elegant neck, all framed by soft auburn hair. Something--no, actually everything--about Catherine Oxenberg made a guy gulp for air or punch his roommate in frustration...
