...tiny key in a lock. That key is borrowed from an odd creature doing the same in several of Picasso's seaside pictures from the late 1920s, when he was flirting with Surrealism. Those elastic Picassos, with their biomorphic figures that are part human, part dirigible, part swollen breast or phallus, turned a key in Bacon. They showed him the way to his own nightmare distortions of anatomy...

...tutelage. Many current and recent Harvard players, including outgoing co-captain Niki Finelli and 2008 captains Lindsay Hallion ’08 and Jessica Knox ’08, make cameos in game footage as well. The film also dealt briefly with Delaney-Smith’s diagnosis with breast cancer, which the coach said forced her to “call on [the ‘act as if’ mentality] the most.” She recounted a game her team was playing at Cornell, in which she was in the middle of delivering a locker room...

...screening against cancer susceptibility presents deviation from the standard practice, as screening has previously only been used against diseases with a 90-100 percent chance of causing a disease that affect the child from birth. BRCA1, however, only raises the risk of the disease from 50-85 percent, while breast cancer itself does not affect the child from birth and has the potential to be cured...

...Screening for breast cancer susceptibility is advancement in the same direction. The previous legal boundaries for appropriate screening (a 90-100 percent chance of the disease affecting the child) were violated in this case. As advances allow us to screen for smaller and smaller susceptibilities, firm boundaries must be drawn to keep science in check. Policymakers must consider the range of genes that cause the same level of susceptibility as BRCA1 and evaluate the implications of permitting such extensive use of pre-natal screening. Ultimately, a level of susceptibility for which it is permissible to screen must be determined...
