...trouble is that penology (from the Latin poena, meaning penalty) is still an infant art given to fads and guesswork, like the 1920s reformers who yanked tens of thousands of teeth from hapless inmates on the theory that bad teeth induced criminality. Even now, penology has not begun to exploit the findings of behavioral scientists who believe that criminal behavior is learned, and can be unlearned with the proper scientific methods...
...spot the source of pollutants like oil, mercury and lead. It would also monitor oxygen levels in the seas and "red tides," the abnormal growth of phytoplankton that can choke out other forms of marine life.

This compact book explores the history, habits and life-styles of owls (there are 133 kinds) in straitlaced prose, enhanced by excellent photos and drawings by Naturalist Robert Gillmor. For bird watchers who give a hoot...

A much better passer than Foster, Crone might have a chance to exploit a Yale defensive secondary that does not compare to the Yale line. Harvard's ends have been open all season, and they'll probably be open again Saturday...
