Though one undergraduate allegedly disguised himself as a workman and roamed the tunnels freely to avoid the winter cold, most in traders are less systematic. Vandals have occasionally used the tunnels to gain access to University buildings, robbing coin machines found in the basements, says B&G official Norman Goodwin. Most of the entrants, however, are simply curious students. "It would appear that the tunnels remain a continuing challenge to undergraduates," notes Tribble. Break-ins usually come in fits and starts--a small rash of entries followed by six to eight quiet months, he says...
...Marvel Comics fan knows, climbing the 1,454 ft. west face of Chicago's Sears Tower is a job for Spider-Man. Still, early-morning crowds outside the world's tallest building last week were amazed to see, high above them, Professional Stuntman Daniel Goodwin, 25, decked out in the bright red-and-blue costume of that nimble comic-book hero.

Galileo's argument, says Goodwin, was essentially that the language of nature was mathematics, that God and man understood it in the same way. It was an argument for mysticism. It discounted the need for an intermediary between the individual and his source of inspiration, whether that be God or geometry. The Pope's argument was for obedience, for the secure establishment of an earthly source of moral authority. It is that sort of moral authority that Goodwin says is missing from the social and natural sciences; the modern mystics are Harvard genetic engineers, the creators of computerized intelligence...
