...there has been one steady trend at Harvard College in recent years, it has been the increase in academic specialization. Pre-professionalism has gone hand in hand with Harvard's policy of expanding its graduate schools in order to train more instructors. It is admirable that Harvard should produce more teachers, and it is understandable (although not particularly beneficial to socety as a whole) that professors wish to train them to perpetuate their own disciplines and ethics among students. But the large majority of undergraduates and graduate students do not end up as teachers, and the Faculty should be more...
...vocal typecasting that prevails in opera, sopranos play the heroines, winning the glory as often as they win the tenor. Lower-voiced mezzo-sopranos, on the other hand, usually end up on the limelight's fringes, portraying a disappointed rival or a sister-and wishing they were sopranos.

Most of the large statues have been lost, broken up or melted down, but thousands of graceful hand-sized household objects and prized miniatures remain. Though fragmented and stained with the crusts, scars and patina of age, they nonetheless offer spirited insights into classical days and ways...
...Epton order did not lend itself to sure interpretation, court watchers last week were as certain as they ever get that in another case the court had clearly tipped its hand on the issue of draft-card burning. David O'Brien burned his card on the steps of the South Boston courthouse in 1966. His subsequent card-burning conviction was overturned by the U.S. Court of Appeals, First Circuit, which declared that the anti-card-burning law was an unconstitutional suppression of "symbolic speech." The Supreme Court agreed to take the case, and last week the justices heard oral...
