Recombinant DNA research, or, as it is nicknamed, gene-splicing, involves the combination of DNA, the basic material of heredity, from different organisms to create a hybrid organism with very different and unpredictable charcteristics. The DNA introduced into the experimental organism will dictate different genetic information when the organism reproduces, thus creating a different organism...
They said it couldn't be done. That was back in August 1976, when Harvard's proposal to build a special containment laboratory for recombinant DNA research sparked intense protest from the Cambridge City Council, among others. An acrimonious debate followed on the safety of such gene-splicing research and the propriety of building the lab within the rundown, insect-infested Biological Laboratories...
...goalie's glove off with a blazing slap shot in 1976, and sat by as Harvard beat Yale in the final game of the 1976-77 season, but failed to reach the ECAC playoffs, lacking the help of any one of three other teams. The "real fans" remember Gene Purdy's overtime wraparound goal to win last year's first-round Beanpot match against Northeastern as well as they recall Jackie Hughes limping off the ice at Boston College with a broken heel, starting a downswing from which Harvard never recovered.

As Gene Purdy remarks, "I felt bad having to pull those fish out of the water." But Purdy's heart soon warmed to the task at hand and by the end of the tourney he landed an 11-lb. Gadus Callarias, known as cod to the laymen, the third largest catch...
