Although Secretary of Education Bennett announced that the report will not influence administration policy, we have to wonder how many policies Mr. Baker's mind has influenced and what kind of damage has resulted. And how many other small-minded and irresponsible petty bureaucrats infest Washington? Norths and Bakers do not gravitate to their positions, they are appointed. They are consequently reflections of a President overcome by his own ideological furvor...
...administrators who might wonder where the money would come from, there is an answer. The rents from the hangouts would cover at least part of the cost. The University could save some money by allowing students at the Graduate School of Design to redesign the hall. The GSD students would probably jump at the chance to design something that would actually be built and they probably know more about creating a space for student than any 60-year-old big-name architect...
...difficult to detect and control, as the Navy learned from the Walker spy case, when a yeoman aboard the aircraft carrier Nimitz also stole classified materials from burn bags.

And unlike Disneyland, Starlight is a passive experience: the audience doesn't come along for the ride, physically or emotionally. After opening moments of real wonder, the dramatic tension depends increasingly on what tricks the set can do next: opening the floor to send up a concealed bedroom or judging stand; filling the midnight sky with stars that sketch a celestial madonna in a surge of unexamined theological kitsch. Against this whizbangery, the actors make scant impression, although...
