...shameful Chester Douglass scandal (“At the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, One Professor’s Fluoride Scandal Stinks,” magazine, Sept. 27). Harvard continues to stonewall and hope that the whole sorry mess will just go away. Clearly, the millions of dollars of National Institutes of Health money that Douglass has brought into Harvard’s coffers supersede the significance of a few hundred victims of bone cancer each year. Douglass, a known proponent of water fluoridation and editor of a Colgate-Palmolive newsletter, should never have been put in charge of research...
...fluoridated water. I do not believe that the Harvard inquiry has clarified this matter at all, either in Harvard’s official Aug. 15 statement or the letter from Dr. Margaret Dale sent out Sept. 7. Whether or not investigators were somehow influenced by Douglass’ million dollar contribution to the new Dental School building, will someone at Harvard please provide a detailed explanation as to why the investigators decided to exonerate Douglass before this matter sullies Harvard’s reputation completely? If this cannot be done, then I suggest that President Bok organize a totally independent...

...females (or anyone) in attendance, we found no hips wide enough to bear each of us our desired nine to 14 children. Tired and classless, we returned to our thatch huts. And so, a week later, we remain in our rooms, our study cards still blank, the fifty dollar fines accumulating. If anyone knows some good classes to take, please e-mail us. But don’t bother if the courses are in Women, Gender and Sexuality. We’ve already taken—and aced—all of those...
