Educators are as worried about the Pepper bill as businessmen. The prospect at the university level is that a comfortably tenured faculty, whose work is not subject to any kind of review, will stay on forever, regardless of competence. This change could not come at a worse time, since the number of teaching jobs is shrinking. Says Robben W. Fleming, president of the University of Michigan: "We're creating a missing generation that doesn't have a chance in the academic world. The department heads say they are not going to have many openings for the next ten years. That...
Some Middle East experts argue that a Palestinian state on the West Bank and Gaza would be more of a safeguard for Israel than a hazard. For one thing, such a state would not be entirely free. Even P.L.O. leaders now talk approvingly about having formal links with Jordan, whose ruler, King Hussein, desperately wants peace with Israel. Moreover, it is clearly in the interests of moderate Arab nations that a dangerously radical regime does not emerge in any Palestinian state. A radical Palestine would be as likely to stir up unrest in Jordan and Saudi Arabia, the Arabs...
...quite moving solution to this problem by using the title character's obsessive preoccupation with the possibility of his own demise (and his attempts to deny that preoccupation through a studied lack of affect) as a means of dulling the romantic impulse. Deerfield is a star racing driver whose success is based on a superrationality that requires a cutting off of all emotion.

...practice, that often means lower admission requirements for blacks, Spanish-surnamed Americans and, especially in California, Asians. Clancy, who married a Los Angeles public defender last year, believes her disadvantaged background fits the special-program criteria. A Russian-born Jew whose parents were imprisoned in concentration camps, she immigrated only seven years ago to the U.S., where her impoverished family had to accept public assistance. Despite serious problems with English and the necessity of holding a part-time job, she managed an A+ average at U.C.L.A. and was placed at the top of one of the Davis medical school waiting...
Typical of the Surgicenter's cases is that of Andrew Dunham, a blond, 23-year-old Phoenix truck driver whose severely injured finger became badly infected and required surgery. Had his doctor chosen to operate in a hospital, Dunham would probably have been kept at least one night, perhaps longer. Instead, the surgeon-one of more than 300 doctors in the Phoenix area who occasionally use the Surgicenter-directed him to the facility at 10:45 one morning last week. Half an hour later, he was wheeled into an operating room and given a general anesthetic. In just...
