...going on with me. I finally caught on to the twisted logic grown up between the Ambler fetish and my dropping the Big One. The Big One is the thesis, and it was as if this series of late-night thrillers was slyly supplying the same drama, the gut-unwrenching of four years of tension, that the thesis was supposed to. And though I thought I'd licked the mythology of senior year's great ritual dance, it emerged that my subconscious had been a sucker for it the whole time...
Most of these reactions, whether stated eloquently by Bickel or in the spirit of alarmism by authors Benjamin Epstein and Arnold Forster, were still gut reactions based on the future implications of affirmative action. And because they were acts of outrage rather than attacks based on empirical data, they have been easily parried. The best recent counter-argument to those extolling meritocracy appeared in the briefs supporting the University of Washington against Marco DeFunis in 1974. Many briefs contended that very few hiring and admissions decisions are based solely on merit--and that race could play just as much...

One paper handed in for an infamous gut a few years ago came back from the professor with the comment, "This paper was an A minus the first time I read it, and it's an A minus...
Harvard's resurgent hockey team passed its final test of the fall term last night at Watson Rink, but it was by no means a gut. Sure, the Crimson thrice held three-goal advantages, and sure, the final score of Harvard 7, Boston College 4 sounds relatively guttish, but at 13:35 of the third period, when the Eagles had narrowed the margin to 5-4, no one on the Harvard bench was assured...
