...very tentative field for anything like precise study. Such theories, in fact, have been greeted with skepticism by orthodox psychologists, but Sheehy was enthusiastic. She switched her focus from genetics to adult development, talked to Levinson and two other researchers with strikingly similar findings, U.C.L.A. Psychiatrist Roger Gould and Harvard Psychiatrist George Vaillant, and plunged into her own life-cycle interviewing. The results: one of the most successful series of articles in New York magazine's history, and a $37,500 advance for a book (Passages: Predictable Crises of Adult Life, due this month from E.P. Dutton...
...example, outlined the "mentor phenomenon"-that in middle age a man feels the need to promote the fortunes of a younger worker. In 1970 Margaret Hennig, co-director of Simmons College's graduate program in management, reported on the importance of mentors to women in corporate life.

Yet Sheehy insists that most of the book is original, including her portraits of "the piggyback principle" (wife living her life's dreams vicariously through her husband's career), "the sexual diamond...
...committee found unacceptable the grading policies of the instructors, Stephen J. Gould, professor of Geology, and Richard C. Lewontin '50, Agassiz Professor of Zoology, who promise students who write ten-page papers at least...
Biological determinism has become a political as well as a scientific issue, and Gould and Lewontin have always presented a radical perspective on it. Until scientific evidence proves otherwise, they say, human behavior can only be attributed to the environment; so far, it is impossible to tell how much genetic inheritance contributes to traits like intelligence. This view of man as essentially plastic conflicts with that of more conservative scientists, who believe genetic damage probably plays a large part in determining behavior...
...committee's decision on Nat Sci 36 passed by an extremely close margin--many of the committee members seem to have agreed with Gould that Nat Sci 36's grades are only nominally different from those in many other courses. But the committee's decision does suggest that many of the easily-graded Gen Ed courses will have to tighten up or move into the limbo in which Nat Sci 36 has just been placed...
