That has been one of the most significant silver linings.” — University Dean of Student Affairs Donna Eddleman, chair of the U of R Coronavirus Response Team Cover illustration of hope by Yuko Shimizu Letters to the editor As a retired professor from Grossmont College, I was impressed with the last issue of Och Tamale magazine and the “five favorite words” shared by U of R professors [“What Are Your Favorite Words? on COCO MCKOWN ’04, ’10 page 19 in Spring 2020 issue]. I was a geology major at Redlands, and I like the word “interstices,” which refers MATIAS LAZO-FANNING ’20 LAZO-FANNING MATIAS to a small layer of unidentified rock between layers of identified rock. In general, it embodies an unidentified time or space. In life, it is that opportunity to collect 6 your wits. I wonder if others have favorite words they may wish to share, and why.

  • The Presidential Nominating System
    1979-80 Institute of Politics John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University PROCEEDINGS Institute of Politics 1979-80 John F. Kennedy School of Government Harvard University FOREWORD Here is Proceedings '80, an attempt to capture the stream of people and ideas that flow through the Institute of Politics. It is the second edition of Proceedings since the Ten-Year Report was compiled in 1977 and the first retrospective to cover a single academic year. Thus, the readings are longer and the programs can be listed in more detail. Part One, "Readings," contains excerpts of written and spoken words from the wide variety of events and formats typical of Institute activity. It has been a campaign year, and the Institute has been an extraordinary place to witness that increasingly complex phenomenon. But politics is more than just campaigning, and most of the readings deal with issues from across the spectrum of political activity: drainage in west Texas, lawsuits at HEW, prisons in Maine, cameras in Afghanistan, sex-neutral determination of custody and child support, the medical effects of plutonium. The readings end with a few observations from people who see the Institute from within. Part Two, "Programs," is a detailed listing of all the projects, people, and products which make up the past year of Institute effort. Putting a unified face on the Institute of Politics is like trying to map out the globe on a flat piece of paper—there are dynamics of experience and perspective which cannot be translated to ink in two dimensions. The volume of activity has increased to a point where few of us can keep track of everything that happens here.
