Those at the sharp end of any war were, as usual, going about their business last week with studied unconcern for stuff they didn't have time to worry about.

Spending millions of dollars to save, say, the California condor can divert precious resources away from saving entire ecosystems with scores or even hundreds of species.

(LaChiusa's had its first reading a few months later.) The two creative teams profess unconcern at the possibility of Party overload. "They're going to be two completely different shows," says Wolfe. "That's the fascinating phenomenon of art: you can paint a picture of a bird, and I can paint a picture of a bird, and they can be two completely different birds." Still...
...very clear that many students feelpowerless against the unreasonable expectations,unconcern, and unprofessional behavior of somefaculty members," the letter reads. "As graduatestudents, we often feel that we have no recourse,no real mechanism for dealing with problems thatmay arise, or even a clear elucidation of what isexpected from our faculty advisors, ourdepartments, the Graduate School and theUniversity...
