...Ultra-Large Carriers (ULCCS), both ships are leviathans of 20th century technology: supersized carriers of an increasingly scarce resource. They are also dinosaurs. When the oil is gone, or is replaced as an energy source, these tankers will follow it into history's technological dustbin. Thereafter, nothing to be carried between continents in the foreseeable future seems likely to require supertankers...
Just because this particular play is destined for the dustbin does not mean that a varied season containing such up coming plays as Bingo, by England's Edward Bond, about Shakespeare's final years back in Stratford; Abigail Adams, Second First Lady, by Edith Owen; and The Last Meeting of the Knights of the White Magnolia, by Preston Jones, about a lunatic-fringe group from Texas, may not provide some aesthetic rewards.

If education and decisions concerning education are no matter for public speculation, then it would seem that Harvard faculty members would regard their own work in this same light. This attitude would logically keep professors from mixing business with academic research and would relegate consulting work to the dustbin, where...
