...many things distinguish Erving, starting with the fact that he returned to college to get his degree and a slew of honorary doctorates besides. He earned them with a style of living, not playing. New York recalls the two A.B.A. titles he celebrated with the Nets, but Mississippi's Necaise Crossing remembers that he came to Wendell Ladner's funeral. The Net forward Ladner died in an off-season plane crash. He was a Li'l Abner from a piney-woods logging town, neither of them very easy for a black man to reach. But Erving got to Ladner...

In a sense, the public is being sold a product that does not match its packaging.

Quad residents are connoiseurs of international cuisine: They have the well-seasoned palate required to distinguish between food for the masses--the quintessential Adams House fare--and the acquired taste of Quad dining, not to mention the famed Hamboygah option...
Ordinary microscopes provide sharp images of most bacteria but cannot distinguish anything smaller than about eight-millionths of an inch -- the tiniest bacteria, for example -- because the wavelength of visible light, which is in the hundred-thousandth of an inch range, is too long. Ruska found that a magnetic coil could focus electrons, which have a wavelength that is roughly 100,000 times shorter. Substituting magnets for lenses and electrons for light, he built his first electron microscope. Improved versions, by providing images of viruses and even large molecules, have revolutionized such disparate fields as biology and electronics...
