...female students were constrained by geographical separation and strict parietal rules. On certain evenings, however, women could be brought as guests to Harvard dining halls, and men could be brought as guests to Radcliffe dining halls. I remember vividly my first appearance as a guest at dinner in Bertram Hall. I think I was the only male guest that evening, and my host and I made a late entrance. She escorted me past endless rows of tables where young women sat in dignified silence waiting for dinner to begin, never once glancing in our direction...
Turning off Garden Street onto Shepard Street, the Quad comes into view suddenly and startlingly: a wide-open space framed by classically Harvardian red-brick buildings, a mirage in the dense residential area that surrounds it. Bertram Hall is on the corner; it is older than most of the River Houses and originally held 12 Radcliffe women in grand style. The curved staircase rising from the front door, the stained glass windows and the fire-escape balconies on each landing still make it one of the best places to live on campus...

The rest of the cast (including Yelitza Colon '98 as Helen and Salvatore Gogliormella '98 as Bertram) hold up their parts tolerably well...
...doesn't make it an epidemic." Some of those with the most to fear agree. "Sure, it bothers the hell out of me -- like any terrorist act would," says one prominent computer scientist. "But it's not going to change the way I do things." Says FBI investigator Lou Bertram, who worked on the case until he retired in 1988, "the longer he's out there, the better the odds that he's going to be caught. He has to make a mistake...
...will bounce off the atoms inside. The angles at which the quantum bullets ricochet tell scientists how the target atoms are arranged. That knowledge has already led to advances in semiconductors and may someday explain the bizarre phenomenon of high-temperature superconductivity. Clifford Shull, now retired from M.I.T., and Bertram Brockhouse from McMaster University in Ontario, Canada, helped perfect neutron-scattering techniques in the 1940s and '50s. Today, nearly a half-century later, they have Nobels to show for it. Ironically, the man who did the pioneering work in the field, Shull's mentor Ernest Wollan, died...
