| | I think in education we ought to make it clear that every area of learning is a valuable area of learning that continues to advance the frontiers of knowledge, that continues to provide what society needs to flourish. | | | And then the final issue of diversity, I just happen to think that the goal of improving what we do in the area of diversity is something that has been a lifelong interest of mine; I certainly don’t intend to leave it at the gate when I come to Brown. | | | Secondly, I want to make sure that the student body here represents the best minds in the country. |

| | Of course, the material in Making History is far more grave than just whether Marty McFly can save his mum from the evil clutches of Biff Tannen, and the richness of characters and locations is a far cry from Arnie's movies. | | | I first read Stephen Fry about a year ago, starting with his novel, "The Liar." The humor and interesting plot alone were more than enough to keep me reading his books, but I found the differences between "Making History" and "The Liar" to be amazing. | | | This is an excellent read, even for people who do not wish to trouble themselves with books that make them think. |
