Thirdly, leaders of most of the major students organizations (both minority and majority) are asked to recommend students and faculty for the Foundation's event. If a student or faculty member's interests are particularly relevant to the background and work of our guest, or if our guest recommends members of the Harvard community, those individuals are also invited if space and time permit.

A shoving match ensued between Toubi and Yuval Ne'eman, another Tehiya Party member...

He defines science as "an understanding of the behavior of nature," and provides numerous examples of how that understanding is thwarted. As a guest lecturer in Rio de Janeiro, he discovered that nearly all his students could parrot their lessons but could not explain what they meant. The rote method was obviously an unscientific way of teaching science. Years later, as a member of a California state board of education curriculum committee, Feynman was appalled by the quality of math textbooks...
