...last decade a stream articles purporting to present an intimate portrait of the Radcliffe dating community has flooded our national magazines. Usually these articles do not claim to discuss Harvard alone; they offer glimpses of promiscuity at Smith or tradition at Wassar, but in the end they focus Cambridge--the apex of college romance. For somehow, to the eyes of the world, the Harvard romance is indeed romantic...
...sailors on our ship--that of Messrs. Khinoy, Fresco, Bulliet, and Scott--had better focus their spyglasses before they start building lifeboats. For it's not leeberge, we're worried about, but another ship which is, in the eyes of our sailors, continually encroaching on our rightful waters.

Result: embryo techniques for perceiving more astutely. The Center bustles with other odd projects, from teaching quadratic functions to young children to time-lapse photographs of tots drawing (the best way to see how they see). All this is pure research, but out of it may someday...
