Whenever any of us get together, Harvard is all you talk about. Before Janet, it was other things: how badly the students are treated, how snotty the professors are, endless things. And yet, [we] grabbed the chance to come here. That's what Harvard lives on, that reputation. If some of the best of you, teachers and students, would say no and mean it, even Harvard might begin to guess it ought to change. But power can always buy what it wants...
...handgun is sold in the U.S. every 13 seconds, adding 2 million a year to the nation's estimated arsenal of 55 million automatics and revolvers. That is one pistol for every four Americans. There is no dispute over these facts, but the endless debate over gun control, pro and con, is dominated by facile slogans, contradictory statistics and arguments that owe as much to passion as to reason. The only consensus is that the present patchwork of nearly 25,000 gun regulations-most at the state and local levels-is a costly, bothersome sham. Practically speaking, any person...
Such relaxation as Haig gets is hyperactive. He tries to play six or seven sets of tennis on Sunday, and rides an Exercycle while watching the morning TV news before going to his office.

Lucy and Co. may have been smaller and weaker than many of the animals they encountered, but when it came to reproducing, they were champions. That, suggest the authors, is why they and their kind prevailed...
That the music of the Beaux Arts Trio always sounds original and never tired is a tribute to their endless devotion and energy for in the span of over 4000 concerts, they have played every piece in their repertoire many hundreds of times. Still, the trio rehearses before every concert, always listening for new interpretations, discovering new relationships with the music. "Rehearsals are the only time we ever have a divergence of ideas," says Greenhouse. "Occasionally it may get a little tense, especially when one person really tries to push his ideas on the others." On stage, he explains, there...
