Last night in the library your bio texts were stolen. You can't afford new ones until your paycheck comes...and that's after the midterm. Should you cheat? Steal someone else's books...
...Bio and Chem Labs are concerned, that suggestion might not be too farfetched. Toning down the ventilation and adding insulation will probably prove the most viable methods of short-term energy savings at the Science Center, but a far more complex process is necessary to combat the main culprit at the labs: fume hoods. In absorbing toxic substances, the hoods consume a tremendous amount of energy and presently must stay on all day and night for safety reasons, Abernathy says. To replace them with more efficient hoods would cost $2500--each. And there are hundreds of them...
Even disregardiang the mammoth cost of replacing the hoods, Bio and Chem labs users dread the thought of changing them. Geoffrey P. Pollitt, director of the Bio Labs, says replacing the hoods would be "very disruptive to operations" and he would rather try using dampers on the present hoods or closing them off at night. But Donald J. Ciappenelli, director of the Chem Lab says that shutting down overnight would prove impossible because graduate students often monitor their experiments 24 hours...
...producing the knowledge that may someday be a noxious gas that will spread over the plains of Yemen and kill 25 or 30,000 people. And though you can't see them--they hide on Huntington Avenue at the Med School or behind the great rhinoceri that guard the Bio Labs--they are doing it. And we know they are because they did it in Vietnam, when they told the President that the war could be won and then suggested that he use napalm to do it. Two Harvard men, one of them who may teach you about democracy...
That bird of rare plumage, the American male, is strutting and primping. In the morning, after shaving, more and more men are reaching for a $20 tube of RNA Bio-Complex Moisture Cream instead of the Old Spice or witch hazel. Some pinstripe business executives are now canceling their three-martini lunches and scurrying across town to meet their wives at the skin-care salon for his-and-her noontime facials. For macho males, from Wall Street bankers to Los Angeles construction workers, a smooth, clear complexion has become as prized and pursued as a 32-inch waist...
