...hanging of a Confederate flag in the window of the Leverett Towers constitutes a legitimate--and insensitive--exercise of free speech. Accordingly, the Harvard community has a dual responsibilty: first, to affirm the right of the student to display the flag and second, to register enough thoughtful disapproval to persuade the person to remove...
When they arrive this week, the U.S. sailors are likely to be more impressed by the natural beauty of the surroundings than by the Soviet naval power on display in the harbor. There at her moorings is the Minsk, a helicopter carrier of a class that sent the Pentagon into a frenzy of alarm in the 1970s. It is about half the size of the U.S. flattops on duty in the gulf. Nearby are a number of formidable-looking destroyers and guided-missile cruisers, but they are outnumbered by a long row of decrepit submarines literally rusting away at dockside...
...find a lot of competitiveness among Harvard students--and not just among the ones who have their sciencefair award-winning volcanoes on display in their common rooms. Often the cut-throat impulse hides, lurking just below the surface, ready to spew forth when you casually suggest a friendly game of Computer Risk, or even worse, when you begin playing...
Hochstein is a whiz on our Apple Macintosh computer design system. After he and designer Leah Purcell have received a cover image, they can lay it out and display it in minutes, vs. hours only a few years ago.

It juxtaposed a photograph of Mikhail Gorbachev with an archival picture of Lenin...

The bones will go on display much as his crew found them. The idea is to let ordinary museumgoers see the evidence from which paleontologists make their leaps of reasoning and imagination. They will be able to argue, for instance, over the only tyrannosaurus arm ever found. It is about as long as a human arm -- too short, in Horner's view, to be much...
