  5. Wide search expected in hunt for next UC president

  8. The best job inquiry letter ever: Eudora Welty to the New Yorker

    Gerda Lerner spent her 18th birthday in a Nazi prison in Vienna and feared that birthday would be her last. Her jailers meant to starve her, but her cellmates &mdash; two gentile women imprisoned for their anti-fascist views &mdash; shared their rations and kept her strong.
