...miraculous decisions of men like George Wald to teach in the program. To many senior men on the Faculty Gen Ed seems the province of sentimentalists sacrificing valuable scholarly time; to many teaching fellows a jumble of needlessly time-consuming, oversectioned, tedious courses; to many undergraduates a confusing and haphazard attempt to impose stray bits of knowledge. Luckily there are many exceptions, some of them beautiful: for example Wald's decision, or Beer's devices for having his section-men educate each other, or undergraduate enthusiasm for a new course such as Humanities 8. Yet still, few outside the program...

...Globe's piece of careless reporting is an example of Boston's slipshod journalism. Such haphazard coverage of this event makes one wonder what distortions appear in the Boston press's presentation of the larger issues which occasioned this student protest.

In the mushrooming cities of newly developed countries, haphazard water supplies and inefficient sewage disposal seed the bacteria that touch off dangerous epidemics...

...often slighting the larger issues of the war-why it occurred, and what it achieved. Literary Critic Edmund Wilson. 67, returns to the more troubling questions of the Civil War in a book that at first glance hardly seems history. Omitting the usual battle data, he threads together in haphazard chronology a series of essays on the literature of the war. Modestly keeping in the background, intruding only occasionally to make a judgment, he lets the people who lived through the war tell about it in their own words. The result is not only an important Civil War history...
