...school has deprived a large number of students of expected services and increased the vast gap between the quality of certain Houses with the justification that campus life is separate but always equal. The rationale has traditionally been that all facilities are open to all students who can benefit tremendously so long as they make an effort. Each House is assumed to be possessed of some peculiar attractive quality so that no matter where you live you still come out a winner. The trouble is that Mather House has lost out again, this time in the scramble for hot breakfasts...
...seem impudent but the matter comes down to be essentially one of financial injustice. Mather has no squash courts; it is a long walk from the Square; its rooms are uncomfortably small; its charm is limited if not nonexistent. Now it serves no decent breakfast. Separate it is. Equal it is not. I would appreciate some form of redress. Marc A. Rosenblatt...
Tiny Spheres. Physicists say the Stanford team measured on their tiny spheres positive and negative charges equal to a third of an electron's normal charge. Such a result fits in neatly with the original predicted charges for quarks, which theoreticians said should be either one-third or two-thirds of those of electrons. Whether the fractional charges measured by the Stanford scientists actually indicate the presence of quarks remains to be seen. But if quarks have indeed been found, their discovery will provide stunning verification of Gell-Mann's brilliant theory about the ultimate structure of matter...
Many Did Well. Yet for each downbeat performance, there were many companies that did well. Xerox, struggling against stiff competition in the copier field from Eastman Kodak, IBM and Savin, posted a 12% earnings rise, to $91.6 million, about equal to total company revenues 15 years ago. American Telephone & Telegraph, which last year became the first U.S. company to earn more than $1 billion in a single quarter, did it again in the recent quarter. Earnings were $1.09 billion, up 26%. Polaroid, expected to introduce its long-awaited instant movie camera at its annual meeting this week, earned $14 million...
...undeniably an accomplished colorist. In the best of his target paintings, like Virginia Site, 1959, he could set a splashy white rim whirling around concentric circles of black, yellow and blue with an airy energy that few American painters (and no European ones at the time) could equal. Like gigantic watercolors-which in effect they are-Noland's targets and chevrons bloom and pulsate with light. They offer a pure, uncluttered hedonism to the eye. But that is all they do offer. The more recent work, the plaid paintings of 1971 with their tartan grid of lines laid like...
