The talk of the town: the saga of Bob Grant

Article Abstract:

Bob Grant is the superstar of radio broadcasting in New York, NY, who, through his own making, was terminated from his post after serving for 12 years for WABC. Grant's popularity was founded on his charisma and drawing power which were propelled by his articulate, pugnacious and humorous chatter. These qualities steadily changed with his repulsion for minorities, particularly African Americans, and his disrespect for anybody who did not share his views. His sarcastic remark about the mistaken survival of Commerce Secretary Ron Brown in a plane crash ended his stay at WABC.

The candidate: a prospective freshman judges a college the way it will judge him

Article Abstract:

A high school senior examines the various kinds of questions colleges ask high school seniors to answer. The common denominator in all applications is the essay question, whose response length - 500 words - reflects the school's insincere interest in what applicants think. Most of these essays ask the students to describe themselves, why they favor particular activities and why they are interested in a particular college. The Univ of Pennsylvania has one of the more intriguing questions about the hypothetical contents of page 217 of the student's 300-page autobiography.
