As fewer women choose to be housewives, the need to create Rosie the Robot has ironically fallen by the wayside. Flying cars aren't anywhere near the horizon. We're just getting started with alternative automobile fuel sources like ethanol, electricity and solar power. Food capsules? Forget...
Regarding your article about unfairness in casting in the Harvard-Radcliffe Drama Club (HRDC) (News, Oct. 21), I will not go so far as to suggest that such unfairness does not exist.
