Double Check. The daughter of a Philco executive who died in 1942, Joyce Haber is a product of Manhattan's Brearley school for girls and Barnard College. Although her judgment is erratic (she put Candy on her list of last year's ten best movies), she learned as a researcher and Los Angeles correspondent for TIME from 1953 to 1966 to double-check her facts. She now earns nearly $50,000 from the Times and the syndicate, but claims, weepishly, that this only puts her and Husband Doug into a higher tax bracket, so "the column is really...
...protests at Columbia University this spring, the gentlest was the three-day "sleep-in" at two men's dormitories staged by more than 100 girls from Barnard College. The girls asked that the two adjacent schools extend the concept of coeducation to include sexually integrated dormitories. Like the gentlemen they sometimes are, Columbia males had gallantly vacated a number of rooms to make the sleep-in not only possible but, so to speak, proper as well. Since an overwhelming majority of students at Barnard and Columbia are on record as in favor of the idea, the schools...
...have just read the unbelievable fantasy about the Cultural Mafia's study of Afro-American culture [May 9]. I am a student at Barnard College majoring in linguistics, and I am black. I have spent time in Nigeria, Ghana and Senegal in West Africa. I also have traveled the Caribbean and all parts of the U.S. I was positively revolted by the claims this group made about black laughter, black eating habits, aversion of eyes and more than anything else teaching ghetto students in incorrect language so they will "understand." Every individual I have seen in my life...
Stubborn indeed. It was not until 1956 and thousands of photographic plates later that Van de Kamp was able to distinguish a significant disturbance in the path of Barnard's star. And it was not until 1963 that he had analyzed his results carefully enough to announce that a planet-sized object rather than a dim star was orbiting Barnard. "I wanted to tread slowly," he explains. "The Zeitgeist-the spirit of the time-had to be just right...
Circular Orbits. One characteristic of the unseen Barnard planet disturbed Van de Kamp: its orbit seemed too elliptical in comparison with the nearly circular orbits of most solar-system planets. Patiently continuing his monitoring of the star, he exposed more photographic plates, refined his data, and early this year came to the conclusion that Barnard's wobbles are caused not by a single planet in an unusual orbit but by two planets in nearly circular orbits...
