...some things, of course, which are not secret, and which the College makes no effort to protect. Harvard calls these facts--mostly the sort of thing you might read in a yearbook biography--"directory information," and will release it to anyone. (A complete list is included in the student handbook.) Students especially partial to privacy can arrange to have even "directory information" withheld by writing to the access officer in the Registrar's Office by the May before the year in which they desire complete privacy...

Another big seller is California Tenants' Handbook (85,000 copies), which drew this letter from a disgruntled landlord: "I have just read your fascinating book and have put [my wife's and my] duplexes up for sale. We can't survive with all those lawsuits you promote." The guides have produced relatively few suits; most readers...
