Academicians S finally grasped, in Thoreau's sense, that schools had branched too All the branches and none ofthe roots." Sure, this sounds like a joke, but Emerson and Thoreau actually far from their roots, and the critical reports encouraged them to do said those words about 100 years ago. And it sounds not unlike something about it. "They gave a big push to what was already exchanges now taking place, often loudly, in classrooms, faculty under way," says Elaine El-Khawas, the ACE's vice president for meetings and cocktail parties all over the country.

Two of the critiques even turned into unlikely best sellers last year—Allan Bloom's "The Closing ofthe American Mind" and E. D. Hirsch Jr.'s "Cultural Literacy." Critics contend that today's college students can barely identify Plato, let alone analyze his philosophy or write a cogent essay on his works. Any reason­ able person might therefore conclude that higher education wasn't doing its job—and, indeed, that's what some au­ thorities say. Secretary of Education William Bennett, for one, declares that the general state of America's colleges and un iversities is only "fair. Better than terrible, not as good as good." Yet as many or more experts are encouraged. "Despite all their flaws, America's uni­ versities are pretty terrific," says E. D. Hirsch Jr., who reserves his harshest criticisms for elementary and secondary curricula. He concedes, however, that colleges "could be better." Disagreement, of course, has always been central to highereducation. But one current fact is incontestable: col leges are

The purpose, says Sheila Blumstein, dean of the undergraduate college, is "to look objectively where we are now and find the weak areas." But she denies wanting to counter the school's liberal, liberal-arts tradition. More than numbers: There is much more to today's revisionism than arithmetic. There is a quest to inte­ grate all of the different facets of study intosomethinggreaterthan the sum of its parts. Some colleges have long demanded that all students take the same general-education courses in a "common core." Now the idea is gaining new support. Gerald Lalonde. a classics professor at Grinnell. advo­ cates that his college adopt a common core because it "produces an esprit among students. I remember when Humanities 101 and 102 were re­ quired and students were reading 'The Iliad' at the time. The exchange of ideas was very interesting." Columbia pioneered this approach in 1919.

The traditional emphasis on broad-brush treat ment and a common heri­ tage has given way to a more pluralistic approach, often interdisciplinary or ex­ tremely specialized. No longer are students so likely to learn something simply because someone else once determined it was important. The new approach allows for many dif­ ferent interpretations of the Civil War or other great historical events. But does it make studying history more engaging or more boring?

No matter how exhilarating the new at­ titudes about history may be, some depart­ ments seem mired in the not-so-wonderful past. A few senior members of the history department at Harvard, for instance, ap­ pear to have gotten it into their heads that they are the only ones fit to be tenured. At their urging, the university in 1986 denied tenure to two of its best young teachers and scholars, Alan Brinkley and Bradford Lee. The move sparked persuasive student protest as well as some faculty complaints, but to no avail. The result ofthe furor is that the university now has a shortage of Americanists, and new fuel for the charge that it undervalues teaching.

That "frontier" is constantly mov­ ing. A recent convention ofthe American Historical Association featured panel dis­ cussions on such topics as "Sodomy and Pederasty Among 19th-century Seafar­ ers" and "Black Women in the Work Force." The latter rellects the latest trend in historical scholarship: the notion ofview- ing history through the lens of male and female sex roles. This "gender" analysis has replaced Marxist, or class, criticism as the rage amongyoung historians. For professionals, the diversity means new areas of exploration, which is always healthy. History, after all, really should account for the lives of ordinary humans, as well as great ones.

Sliders don't just hang on; they steer with small body movements. In a sense, the sled is not much different from the Flexible Flyers that children use to belly-flop down hills. "This is just the Indy of sledding," says Hughes. Always popular in Europe, the sport is dominated by the high-tech, well-coached East Germans and Italians. But the United States is gaining ground. A refrigerated, Olympic-certified run (the only one in the nation) was built for the 1980 Lake Placid Games, and corporate sponsorships now ease the team's financial plight. More trav­ el to meets and better equipment mean a greater ability to vie with Europeans. Last season, the United States placed fifth over­ all in the World Cup competition.

The 300-pound transvestite actor is dressed in his own gender today: a somber black-jacket-black-shirt-black- slacks ensemble, looking like a cross be­ tween Uncle Fester and a Stealth bomber.

His "Pink Flamingos" (1972) is famous for a scene in which Divine puts poodle feces in his mouth.
