...concrete action completed this year is to clarify rules governing selection and payment of graduate student teaching fellows. Students wanted uniform practices across all departments so all students had a fair chance at the jobs, to ease the burden of tuition and expenses. The new guidelines, drawn up by a student-Faculty committee and approved by Rosovsky, will take effect next year. Michael Moynihan, a member of the Graduate Student Council (GSC), says the guidelines tackle only part of the problem. "The kind of teaching one does, whether a graduate student can propose tutorials and have freedom from the syllabus...
Stoller is the author of four other scholarly books on sex, including the highly praised study Perversion (1975). He has become convinced by his researches -including a detailed case history of a woman drawn from his analytic practice -that conventional sexual behavior is based on the same drives found in extreme form in sexual perverts. In fact, Stoller says, "we try to make the outlandish folk function as scapegoats for the rest of us, but anyone-not just analysts-who collects erotic thoughts knows that many citizens, avowedly heterosexual, conspicuously normal... are also rilled with hatred and wishes...
...newspapers don't really provide happy mediums between hustle and heart attacks, either, though. At the Washington Post, news reporters--especially on cityside--constantly battle in a cutthroat competition to get their stories on the front page, and consequently tend to go for the quickie scandal rather than the drawn-out drudgery of research into government processes and problems. At The New York Times, the game is total, Machiavellian office politics. Executive editor Abe Rosenthal sits like Jehovah on his throne, flashing thunderbolts from his fingertips at any lower-echelon staffer who incurs his disfavor. Former Crimson president Richard Meislin...
...martial law. Those escorts were at least as coercive as anything the Patriotic Front did to disrupt the elections. And beyond any coercion, the voting itself was form without content. Blacks did not get to vote on the constitution under which Biship Muzorewa will be taking power--that was drawn up by Ian Smith's regime and passed on by just the whites (5 per cent of the population). That constitution leaves control of the military, judiciary, and police in the hands of the whites, and guarantees that Muzorewa's government will not be able to restructure the country...
...delivery. A sonar-like ultrasound system keeps track of the baby's heart rate, and an electrically wired belt across the mother's abdomen notes uterine contractions. Electrodes are attached to the baby's head to get an electrocardiogram. Blood samples for analysis may be drawn from the baby's scalp. The object: to detect fetal problems early enough for physicians to intervene. The U.S. spends some $80 million a year on this effort, and the fetal death rate in the U.S. has in fact declined since electronic monitoring was introduced in the mid-1960s...
