...routinely sprayed with a substance called gibberellic acid, which promotes cell growth and helps produce plumper fruit. A Monsanto product called Polaris is being used experimentally to increase sugar production: sprayed on fields, the chemical enhances the ripening of sugar canes. This, it is believed, boosts their sucrose content and may raise their yield of raw sugar by as much as 10%. Researchers are also looking into ways of using growth regulators to synchronize the ripening of field crops so that all can be harvested in a shorter time, a money-saving measure that could mean lower food prices...
...exhibit does not dare enough: it remains bounded by the adjective "student". Inadequately budgeted, the show reflects the biases of academics in its display and content. Many of these pieces are too obviously exercises, too directed to be more than imperfect realizations of formulas.

...managing editor of The New York Times, A.M. Rosenthal is the potentate most directly responsible for The Times's content and news display. His influence reaches far beyound New York--as The Times goes, so goes a large part of the American press...
...important to correct not only that picture but also any possible connection between the content of The Crimson article and the views of Professors Amos, Anderson, Hubel, Karnovsky, and Rosen. They consigned the original document, prepared for the Faculty Council, that was the basis for my published article, and no statement by me outside that document should be ascribed to them. I apologize for my indiscretion in identifying those colleagues: I felt free to do so since the document is scheduled to be distributed at a Faculty meeting, which students can attend. To clarify the position of the cosigners...
...mirror to music--tracing its form with a mind to undermining its content--is what Kramer does as well in "Haiku." Sitting on stage, cellist Ron Heifetz bows the trills of a Bach suite to no more than a half-dozen dance motifs. The choreography is skeletal, easily divisible into separate parts, and echoes the simplicity of the music's deep-down design...
