Bound by their rigorous methodology, Lesch et al. (poor al.; such lousy billing for nine talented scientists) are careful not to extrapolate their findings to the general population. But what if 70% of Americans have the short gene and only 30% have the long? That's a huge majority of neurotics. If 70% of the voters had favored Clinton, they would have given him an unprecedented landslide; if 70% of the TV audience watched one show, it would be a historic hit; if 70% of football fans rooted for the New York Jets, they would be out of their mind...

Steenburgen likened the series to making a batch of pancakes: sometimes "you throw out the first." A few weeks later CBS tossed out all four episodes completed...
...referring to sections. Sections are something we can all relate to--they are an unavoidable aspect of academic life at Harvard. In our four-year journey here, our relationship with sections is in constant flux and development. If Verdi had been at Harvard he would have said, "La sections et mobile" ("how fickle are sections"). Sections take us on a real emotional roller coaster. Each year marks the beginning of a new stage in this stormy romance...
