...Teaching, Curriculum, and Learning Environment (TCLE) program spend odd hours in the afternoon chatting away in the Conroy Commons in the basement of Longfellow Hall. Gaspar and company say that much of the social life at the Ed School centers around the Commons. Down a narrow stairway, the windowless, smoke-filled room resembles a small cafe with a myriad of small tables surrounding a petite cafeteria...
...shave $10 billion or $15 billion from this year's budget. The traditional methods of assault-whittling away at frills, stretching out weapons purchases, skimping on maintenance money-will be as futile in the short run as they are wasteful in the long run. In a windowless office in the basement of the U.S. Capitol, where 18 congressional staffers known as the "bean counters" scratch for potential savings in the defense budget, a small sign on the wall sums up the dilemma: A BILLION DOLLARS JUST DOESN'T go AS FAR AS IT USED...
Leaders of the peace movement showed that they had been listening too when they convened an antinuclear rally the next day.

FBI Director William Webster last week sought to shift the blame for this lapse away from...
Inside the spa building, in a small windowless room, an uptight, burned-out, more-fat-than-fit East Coast Type A female is submitting to an herbal wrap. A cup of alfalfa-mint tea precedes mummification. She sweats to the faint chimes of "music to relax and meditate by." The East Coast Type A resents being told to relax. The ranch's resident psychotherapist, Richard ("Bud") Murphy, will later tell her, "Many people come here seeking withdrawal from something-food, a bad marriage, personal problems, smoking-but they feel ambivalent and resist change...
