Alexander Calder, prints and tapestries at Graphics I and II, 168 Newbury St. Calder has a magnificent sense of design and color--not since Matisse have tapestries been so exciting. Graphics is a good place to know; they have drawerfuls of Picasso, Miro, Matisse, etc., etc., just...
...Comparative studies have shown that some human capabilities, (speech, bipedal walking, patterns of smiling, etc.) are species-specific traits and as such have a genetic basis. While we cannot specify the particular genes underlying these or other complex behaviors, there can be no doubt that such genes exist. Because we cannot, and should not, conduct breeding or selection experiments on humans, it may be some time before we are able to map the complex interactions between genes, and between genes and environments, that underly the development of such behaviors. In this respect behavioral traits are not different from metrical traits...
Growing out of this naive perception is another false notion. The critics appear to believe that a theory which talks about substances (genes-bits of DNA) must be more deterministic than one which talks about processes (climatic or nutritional influences, etc.). Clearly there can be no such thing as a purely genetic theory of life or behavior. Moreover, a theory which invokes gene-environment interactions in the causation of behavior, as advanced by Wilson and many others, is not necessarily more deterministic than is a purely "environmental" theory (which is also an impossibility). The critics' misunderstanding is basic: a casual...
Some foreign observers now argue that a quick M.P.L.A. victory might be preferable to a prolonged conflict, even were it to end in a coalition government. As one senior British official puts it: "The longer the war goes on, the greater the price in Soviet bases, etc., that the Russians will be able to extract from the M.P.L.A." For this reason, British policy advisers were privately critical of Kissinger's renewed condemnation of the M.P.L.A. last week. They fear that a cool U.S. posture could play into the hands of radical, Soviet-lining elements in the Luanda government...
...Food Service Department--Investigate the cost efficiency gain of a "No seconds policy." Harvard is unique in its present position compared to other universities. Also the recent changes making available optional extras (i.e. onions, raisins, peanut butter, raw carrot sticks, etc.) make a change to no seconds more appropriate than in the past...
