This is inconceivable. Nietzsche comes to the realazation that there is no such thing as fact, there is only interpretation. There can be no truth in a world of unique and separate views points While I don't go so far as to accept the far reaching moral relativity that Nietzsche embraces, the premise as far as personal opinion and thought is concerned sits well with me. Practice and action are topics for another issue. So why dialogue? Because it fullfills a fundamental human yearning: to interact intellectually with society and in the same moment enable it to achieve its highest potential, which comes not in moments of isolative, solemn reflection, but in insightful, lively discussion with different points on the curve.

Although there are a few differences in the respective plans of both candidates, such as Clinton's idea of a National Trust Fund to allow Her Past and Future Lives students to further their education by borrowing from the federal government. The main difference lies in Clinton's commitment to spend more money and pare down the unnecessary administrative positions. This money will go not only to better programs like Head Start, but also to attracting more adept teachers by increasing salaries. Yet, even here Clinton Judy Dworin shows much political acumen, since he would demand greater classroom performance for the increased compensation.

Hello sports fans, and welcome to my column, Hat Trick. This week's version is somewhat abridged, which is fine as I'm not exactly overflowing with ideas anyway. There are a few things held over from the summer, however, that I've been thinking about recently. Like millions of people around the world, one of the highlights of my summer was watching the Olympics. There are very few events that can hold one's attention for a week, much less two (refer to World & Nation for examples), but the Olympics are one of them. There's just something magical about the competition. Put it this way, it would take a ball and chain to keep me seated in front of the Gymnastics World Championships, yet during the Olympics I was tuned enthusiastically to the (tape-delayed by six to ten hours but still) unfolding drama of the Women's Gymnastics Competition. I studied each routine intently, evaluating its technical merits with the precision of a seasoned gymnast (of course I can't even touch my toes). I witnessed the thrill of victory for Shannon Miller, and the agony of defeat for Kirn. Zmeskel, and in each instance I was moved, In the dominance of the Dream Team I saw the American ego thoroughly satisfied. I also saw the shameful ignorance of the American ego unsatisfied. I will never forget when Summer Sanders emerged from the pool a Bronze Medalist, having exceeded her personal best in the event (which I cannot recall), only to have the reporter exclaim, "You must be disappointed." Fortunately she was not, but I was. It was a low-point for journalism. The Olympics were a showcase for the talents of Jackie Joyner-Kersee, the greatest athlete in the world, Linford Christie, and the Cuban baseball team, to name just a few. They also revealed the human drama through Pablo Morales' emotional victory (my favorite moment of the Olympics) and the true spirit of competition, as the last marathon runner crossed the finish line outside the Olympic Stadium on a darkened track, while the closing ceremonies thundered in the distance. No doubt the Olympics have and will continue to have their share of controversies. But all things considered, there truly is something magical about the competition. PerhapsSummer Sanders putitbest when she proclaimed at the closing ceremonies, "I can't wait until 1996." Neither can I.
