Subject: Source/wording of academic politics quote

Can someone supply the precise wording and source of the frequently quoted
"academic politics [feuds] are so mean [bitter] [vicious] because the stakes
are so small"? I have seen it attributed to Woodrow Wilson, Henry Kissinger,
and Santayana, but without any indication as to where it was first said/
printed.
Thanks!

Subject: John of the Cross

I have a friend here at Saint Paul U. who is interested in contacting
anyone who is doing studies in phenomenology concerning the writings
of John of the Cross.

Anyone who fits this bill can reach my friend through me at either of the
addresses below. I expect that he will be getting his own Internet/Bitnet
account shortly.

Thanks in advance for your help,

Subject: allocation of scarce resources

Could anyone recommend some good sources of information on the legal and
ethical issues of allocation of scarce resources. I'm particularly
interested in the delivery of health care.Oregon is in the process of
reorganizing its health care program and many insurance companies and
employers are reviewing their benefits based ona rationing system. Any
information would be helpful. Thank you.

Subject: Two requests relating to India

Could someone help me with the following two questions:

1.) Which commented texts of the Upanishads, in English or German,
are for the present the most recognized one?

2.) How could someone learn Sanskrit from books?

Many thanks for your kind help. rwy, Univ. of Vienna, Austria

Subject: Arnold J. Toynbee

I have a client who would like to know where or in what context
Toynbee made the following statement:

"The human race made a big mistake in moving to monotheism"

Is there a Toynbee scholar out there who can offer some help.

Many thanks

Subject: Q: "Constantinian Excerpts"

Will a kind Byzantinist (or anyone, for that matter) tell me, a
benighted Classicist, whether there has been any significant recent
work on the 10th-century "Constantinian Excerpts" (= *Excerpta
historica iussu imperatoris Constantini Porphyrogeniti confecta*)?

Subject: Fat city

A student of mine is interested in colloquial
expressions of the type "X city", such as "fat
city" ("You overeat and it's fat city.") or
"trouble city" ("That was trouble city.")
He'd be interested in more (real) examples of this
type, together with any insights folks might have as
to origin (how the expression arose, semantic
mechanisms, etc.), usage, restrictions, meaning of
the expression, and observations on who uses it
when, where, and why. Any and all comments welcome.

Please send responses to me. If there is interest,
I'd be happy to provide a summary for the list.
