Commenting on Nixon's letter, Salvador E. Luria, professor of Microbiology at M.I.T., asserted that development has nothing to do with defense, that a deadlier weapon or larger stockpile is no protection.

...kill. How can I listen to the lecture?" The real trouble, said another male flunkee, is that "college is the only time we have in our lives for romancing." The only people who remained unperturbed by the situation were the girls themselves. True to their reputation as the deadlier sex, they had added insult to injury by running away with the highest grades in many key exams...
