...sweetheart. But just how realistic is that goal? Senior Lecturer on Literature Dr. Sandra Naddaf and Dr. Leigh Hafrey, co-masters of Mather House, show that yes, one can find a lasting and meaningful relationship at Harvard. Naddaf and Hafrey met in the 1971-1972 school year at the bell desk at north House. They both lived on the second floor of Holmes, in which the bathrooms were co-ed and there was a "pretty total collective experience." He was a junior and she a first-year; they met during shopping period because, as Hafrey points out, "shopping period...
Mendelsohn notes the tendency in social thought to "read social differentials as biological differentials," a tendency highlighted in the recent The Bell Curve controversy. "My own sense is that the biology has never been good enough, never subtle enough, to deal with those social differentials," Mendelsohn explains. "It is a kind of urge to say you can do nothing about it; it is locked into the laws of nature. Beware, for seldom has that been that case.

...simpler combinations of technologies could be used to create highly efficient urban-transportation systems. Buses, subways and private cars would be superfluous under a plan proffered by Nobel laureate Arno Penzias at Bell Laboratories. In his vision, a fleet of passenger vans, each equipped with a global-positioning system and cellular phone (plus whatever amenities its operator chose to offer) -- all linked by computer to a central dispatching program, would provide total customized coverage of every street and every neighborhood in town, 24 hours...
...19th century, photography gave us historic images -- pictures of Abraham Lincoln -- and naughty photographs, sold under the counter. You can be sure that the first obscene telephone call was placed not long after the Bell Telephone Co. connected the first network. As for the first phone sex? That was probably the first obscene phone call in which the recipient didn't hang up. When The Birth of a Nation was released in 1915, the erotic film A Free Ride was circulating through the men's smoker circuit. The explosion of VCRs coincided with the release of videotaped versions of such...
