...sake, everyone, stop this twentieth century Inquistion. It is not anyone's job to control and censor the scientific community. If the theories of Dawkins, Wilson, (cute, J., the way you connect him with Shockley when there is no connection) DeVore and Trivers are that ludicrous, leave them alone. They'll go away like all ludicrous theories do. When people start telling The New York Times that they lynched someone or stole someone's food after reading The Selfish Gene, the matter will have to be considered further. But for now the rampant paranoia and vigilanteism at this university must...
...last half of the last century who are being so obviously but fondly mocked. Bunthorne, the hero, is a parody of Oscar Wilde or Swinburne; Patience is the name of the simple village milkmaid he adores. In the G & S society spring production, director P.D. Setlzer should put the cute couplets, scores of lovesick maidens and happy endings to good use. Performances are at the Agassiz Theater in Radcliffe Yard tonight through Sunday and also next weekend at 8 p.m. Tickets are $2 and $3 on weekdays, $2.75 and $3.75 on weekends, and are available at the Holyoke Center ticket...
Scientists have a cute name for it: "ploot." But plutonium, a man-made element created by bombarding uranium 238 with neutrons, has awesome properties. On the plus side, fast-breeder nuclear reactors, which are generally fueled with plutonium and U-238, can not only generate electricity but also produce more plutonium fuel than they consume. On the other hand, plutonium, even in tiny quantities, is searingly radioactive and ranks with botulin toxin as one of the world's most poisonous substances. Moreover, with as little as 12 Ibs. of plutonium, the right equipment and expertise in handling the stuff...
Segal's gall in using the same homogenized success formula is annoying. Love Story was somewhat ingenuous the first time, but this time around Segal's clearly going for the gold. In this version the style is too cute and unoriginal to succeed. But there's an even more irksome side to the Segal works for Harvard readers. Segal's portrayal of Harvard is distorted, yet it is the one that millions of Americans apparently want to believe. The syndrome is a familiar one: Segal obviously fell head over heels in love with Harvard and all its money-encrusted trappings...
Pity we may have for them, but for the administration's "aren't they cute" attitude and The Crimson's decision to comment on the process only insofar as the private poll validated The Crimson's own survey, another response is in order. Both of these reactions, are characterized by self-congratulation and absolute admiration for the devious, fraudulent nature of the private poll. While we may perhaps find the original deception excusable--weren't we all freshmen who thought the housing lottery was the most important event of our lives once, and would have done nearly anything to avoid...
