Jacqueline Newmyers's fine article ("Berkowitz Prepares to File Formal Grievance over Tenure Denial," Dec. 14, 1998) summarizes the fundamental procedural flaws-concerning both the composition of the ad hoc committee and the participation in the tenure review by Associate Provost of the University, Director of the Program in Ethics and the Professions, and Professor of Government Dennis F. Thompson-at the center of my appeal. However, some of the information given to Ms. Newmyer by members of the Harvard faculty and administration is untrue or misleading and needs to be corrected...

Indeed, in his Jan. 12 statement to The Crimson, Professor Thompson himself indicates that after playing is "usual role" in departmental deliberations he wrote his "customary letter" to Dean Knowles. But the very purpose of this "customary letter"-a confidential letter that is in fact a formal feature of tenure review in the FAS-is to enable all tenured faculty members to play a role in tenure review beyond departmental deliberations and have their candid opinions, unconstrained by pressures from colleagues, heard by the deans, the ad hoc committee, and the president...

...only if the person is currently at the terminal. Computer stalking is, unfortunately, not rare. I know at least three students who have felt that someone was keeping track of their movements with commands such as "last," "who" and "finger," but felt that they had insufficient grounds for a formal complaint to the administration. And there is a growing risk as e-mail becomes ever more prevalent that the information found with these seemingly innocuous commands be used in a crime, whether it be theft or sexual assault...

Completeness and accuracy were the Human Genome Project's twin mantras from its formal start in 1990. At that point, researchers had already painstakingly identified more than 4,000 of the 100,000 genes that serve as the blueprint for a functioning human being--each gene carrying instructions that tell cells how to produce a specific protein. Scientists had located about 1,500 genes, in a rough way, on the 46 chromosomes--the long, twisted strands of DNA cradled in protein at the heart of every human cell. But they had deciphered, or sequenced, only a handful of the many...

...atheists ever run for public office because they would automatically lose. They call our attention to events like Congress' vote in the 1950s to put the word "God" onto our paper money, into our national motto and into our Pledge of Allegiance; the Congress and President Reagan's formal declaration that 1983 was the "Year of the Bible"; and the recent increase of the Religious Right's stranglehold on the Republican party's leadership. But the quick mind of the observant conservative will not be fooled. He knows that all of this evidence doesn't count, and that the villainous...
