Worthy Goal. Many obstacles remain before that day arrives. Some experts feel that even after break-even, the engineering of practical power plants will be difficult and their construction expensive. Admits Lawrence Livermore Physicist John Emmett: "No one is saying it will be cheap." Still, given the seriousness of the energy crisis, that is no reason to sidetrack fusion research in favor of programs promising quicker payoffs. "Shortrange solutions last a short time," warns Princeton Physicist Melvin Gottlieb. "Longterm solutions take decades to achieve...
Hard drugs are still available at Harvard, but they are neither as cheap nor as easy to obtain as they were a decade ago. In the late '60s Harvard Square earned a reputation as one of the nation's clearinghouses for drugs. Today the narcotic industry at Harvard has ducked underground, and most hard drugs are available only intermittently...

The kid's name was Larry and he dad gone to a Catholic high school in Queens without hating it. To Carlo, who for the last seven years had managed to slip into the corner drug store every Sunday...
After Jeff finished dismembering and reassembling the beds, he invited Beth and her roommate out for their first Cambridge beer. They chatted for a half hour about course catalogues and freshmen seminars and compared notes on where to buy cheap plants and how bad the food at the Union was. Jeff was clearly enjoying his first chance to play the worldly upperclassman (he was a sophomore) and in the midst of a discourse on how not to get lost in Widener Library, he paused dramatically...
