...leper colony on the Hawaiian island of Molokai was a place of horror when Father Damien de Veuster, a Belgian Catholic priest, landed there in 1873. The victims of leprosy lived in primitive huts or roofless stone buildings; they died without medical care in an empty room furnished only by their waiting coffins. In his 16 years of heroic service on Molokai, which ended with his death from leprosy in 1889, Father Damien made many improvements, including a water system built largely with his own hands. Now the colony, located at Kalaupapa, has a 60-bed hospital, four doctors...

There is likewise little feeling anywhere as to whether pork is, "over-cooked, about right, undercooked...
...statistics are interesting (if true); but just why he was impelled to write the article is unclear. That Harvard's Jewish students rank high scholastically, that they are active in extra-curricular groups, and that they are not in the clubs are facts well-known to those who care about them. It's a fine idea to run non-fiction research articles; but this reviewer cannot see the raison d'etre of a basically divisive statistical outline...
