Another major source of complaints among junior faculty is the financial aspect. Salaries have risen the last several years, making up for the lack of increases during the highly inflationary late '70s, when the University tried to economize by keeping salaries down. But the common perception seems to be that junior faculty feel underpaid. "I don't care how many surveys [Dean of the Faculty Henry] Rosovsky wants to from out, it's just not true" that Harvard salaries match those elsewhere, says one junior professor...
...widely publicized news that genes control and and determine all social behavior. Since 1975, at least three new sociobiological journals have started up, and scores of papers and books have been written, following Wilson's celebrated Sociobiology: The New Synthesis. (He later focused on the most controversial aspect of his theory, human sociobiology, in On Human Nature.) Biologists immediately praised the work as an integration of evolutionary biology and anthropology. Sociobiology came into vogue in the late 70s and early 80s, when it was used as a basis for arguments in fields as diverse as economics and political science...
...ALMOST A YEAR I've been sharing one shower in South House with 10 other undergraduates. Beyond the ceiling pipes dripping with condensation and the muddy floors, the single most unappealing aspect of the arrangement was the shower curtain.

For a while I felt I was neglecting my academic duty by not calling the Biology Department to let them know what a good cultivation medium rubber sheets made...
...bright aspect of that toil behind the drugstore counter was that, promptly at 9:15 every Sunday night. George Frazier '33 would stop in for a double-rich chocolate frappe. At first George, who later became a popular Boston columnist and Esquire magazine's jazz critic, would rave about the Guy Lombardo band he heard every Sunday night sponsored by Robert Burns panatella cigars. I soon changed Frazier's musical tastes permanently--and, I'm sure, for the better, by lending him some records by Louis Armstrong, Red Nichols and Bessie Smith...
...Americans, from Eisenhower down, dominated the drama. The invasion, in a way, was a perfect expression of American capabilities: vast industrial energy and organizational know-how sent out into the world on an essentially knightly mission-the rescue of an entire continent in distress. There was an aspect of redemption in the drama, redemption in the Christian sense. The Old World, in centuries before, had tided westward to populate the New. Now the New World came back, out of the tide, literally, to redeem the Old. If there has sometimes been a messianic note in American foreign policy in postwar...
