Some of them might even cure you after you've contracted the disease. The Working Classes by Scott Hauser Working your way through college isn't quite what it used to be. More and more, undergraduates are moving away from traditional chores like washing dishes and waiting tables. A lot of them now see their campus job as a way of getting a head start on a future career. On the Job Meet Steve Stromski Threshold by James Longenbach Five poems by the Joseph H. Gilmore Professor of English, from his first published collection. Creating a Landscape of the Mind The Last Great Eye in the Sky by Tom Rickey SIRTF--the fourth and final element in NASA's series of Great Observatories--will give astronomers unprecedented views of cosmic phenomena. Much of the credit for developing SIRTF's probing eyes goes to a team of Rochester researchers. How Many Wrongs Does It Take to Make a Right? by Rose Ericson Sometimes, getting a wrong answer to a math problem might be better than getting it right, says Warner School professor Raffaella Borasi. Third Act Surprise by Scott Hauser Academy Award nominee Robert Forster '64: By the actor's own admission, Forster's career enjoyed a stellar five-year first act and suffered a slumping 25-year second act. But then came Jackie Brown.
