...look at the course catalogue you'll see a few studio art, film, and photography courses in the Visual and Environmental Studies (VES) department but that's it as far as academic credit is concerned. It's not that the arts don't exist at Harvard; it's just that the Faculty hasn't officially recognized them yet. Harvard's very active Office of the Arts and many student organizations are the caretakers of the arts here. In other words, if you're going to give time to a performing art--one that you do with your hands or your...
...this was highly exciting news to the nearly 600 physicists from 38 countries gathered at the Fermi accelerator. If gluons really exist, they are the first strong proof of an esoteric yet extremely important new physical theory called quantum chromo dynamics, or QCD. Although more experimental work will be necessary to establish the existence of gluons, already some bold theorists are using QCD in an ambitious attempt to succeed by other means where Einstein failed. That could eventually mean a union of all four of nature's basic forces -gravitation, electromagnetism and the nuclear strong and weak forces. Predicted...
...doing so, at least not in a way that will make them happy. This leads to the static quality of his books: nothing much ever changes except to get a little worse. Some of the evidence Vonnegut offers is rigged: Starbuck comes to believe that wisdom does not exist and hence can not be used to improve the lot of man kind. "Who was the wisest man in the Bible, supposedly?" he asks and answers: "He was King Solomon, of course. Two women claiming the same baby appeared before Solomon, asking him to apply his legendary wisdom to their case...
...iridescent bubble, can be blown too large; it will burst with too much inflation of significance. In any case, decadence is too much a word of simplification. The U.S. is too complicated, housing too many simultaneous realities, to be covered with one such concept. Sub cultures of decadence exist, as they have in all societies. The amplifications of the press and television may make the decadence seem more sensational and pervasive than it really...
...July Security Council meeting postponed for a month, Young had met with the U.N. representative of the Palestine Liberation Organization. Israel had protested that this violated a U.S. commitment not to negotiate with or recognize the P.L.O. unless that organization recognized the right of Israel to exist as a state or at least accepted U.N. Resolution 242, which implicitly affirms this right. Because of the resulting uproar over his meeting with the P.L.O. and over the misleading account of it that he gave the State Department, Young had to resign...
