Dean Fox's proposal to oust freshmen from the Quad is a scandalous attempt at wrecking one of the last alternative lifestyles at Harvard (is it paranoia, or do I detect the silhouette of the infamous 1-1-2 plan lurking at the sidelines, waiting for its cue?). The timing of the Administration's actions--reading and exam period securely bolting, or so they think, the doors to student concern and participation--epitomizes the slimy, macchiavellian, fetid, underhanded, unscrupulous and most questionable manner in which the Administration has traditionally managed to impose its bureaucratic wet-dreams upon the lives...

Their reasoning seems to accommodate the timetable of the Christmas story, for in December the two planets came together for a third time, as if on cue, to show the final way to Bethlehem...
...high-energy neutrons produced by its linear accelerator. Directed against certain tumors, the neutrons can be more effective than the X rays normally used in cancer therapy. Their advantage lies in the combination of their mass (they are heavy by subatomic standards) and high energy, which makes them ideal "cue balls" in a kind of atomic billiard game: penetrating deep into large tumors, they knock protons and other particles out of the atoms of the cancerous cells. That creates general biochemical havoc, breaking DNA strands and hampering cell reproduction-thus killing the malignancy...
