Another small campus organization also had a somewhat other worlds aim in its activities. Yet the Sri Chinmoy Meditation Group took a more serious view. The group sponsored four week sessions, usually held at Phillips Brooks House, to teach meditation based on the philosophy of poet Sri Chinmoy...
...Black artists the American Dream has always presented a complicated dilemma: should one aim to be an artist, an American artist, or a Black artist' Scholars continue to argue for example, over whether Ralph Ellison's classic.

A confessed iconoclast, he likes nothing better than to take aim at major targets. Gould links that saintly man of the cloth and science, Jesuit Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, to the infamous Piltdown hoax (the faked fossil, says Gould, was apparently a youthful prank by Teilhard), and displays irreverence for even his great hero Charles Darwin. Says Gould: "If I have one special ability, it is as a tangential thinker. I can make unusual...
