Students can't even keep pets, let alone spouses or children. Harvard's tutors, however, have the privilege of suckling their entire families at the breast of Mother Harvard. The houses should first and foremost be student dormitories; they should not be the bedroom communities of the academic welfare state. Harvard propaganda claims that it is tutors that distinguish our houses from mere dorms--this is the same outrageous intellectual pretension that leads us to call majors "concentrations." Buildings where college students live are "dorms" no matter how intellectually over qualified the RAs who live there...

SHOULD WOMEN UNDER 50 HAVE MAMMOGRAMS TO detect breast cancer? The National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society say yes -- every year or two. But a Canadian study last year seemed to say no, and an accumulation of new research supports that conclusion. While older women benefit from the specialized X-ray procedure -- those who have mammograms are less likely to die of breast cancer than those who don't -- there appears to be no difference in mortality for younger women. Mammograms may be much less likely to detect incipient tumors in younger women because their breast tissue...
...sees it at full stretch in The Soup, with its tremendous image of a working-class Earth Mother, as old as the tenant of a limestone cave but as new as the Republic, gorging herself from the steaming pot, while her infant sucks at her breast -- a continuum of blind appetite, expressed in rhythmical line. Here, the long Rococo tradition in French art of painting the lower classes as nifty milkmaids or idealized swains gets its coup de grace. Not all of Daumier's drawings have the fierceness of this one (how could any artist sustain it?), but they...
Oxytocin is another chemical that has recently been implicated in love. Produced by the brain, it sensitizes nerves and stimulates muscle contraction. In women it helps uterine contractions during childbirth as well as production of breast milk, and seems to inspire mothers to nuzzle their infants. Scientists speculate that oxytocin might encourage similar cuddling between adult women and men. The versatile chemical may also enhance orgasms. In one study of men, oxytocin increased to three to five times its normal level during climax, and it may soar even higher in women...
