If they happen to follow childbirth, it is because the difficulties of this period serve as "the last straw"-but any other stressful situation might have the same effect...
Critics of the three-year program are numerous and vociferous. What will happen to the maturing process, they ask, if students are shuffled through college at such a rate? The nation has enough specialists and experts. Many feel it Harvard's function to produce leaders and inspire sound judment...

If the lab space could be made available laboratory work might improve all the lower-level Nat Sci courses which to not require it. This could happen only if the method were carefully though out. The endless lab writeup of the Physics 1 variety should be avoided, but a good lab would add some of the rigor which many scientists feel the program now lacks...

Duel in the Sky. For all astronomers know, say Morrison and Gold, half of the galaxies may be made of antimatter. They will be pushing their neighbors away by antigravity, but the light that comes from them will reveal nothing unusual about them. Only when galaxies of hostile type happen to collide in spite of anti-gravity will their matter interact violently. This may be happening. Several odd objects deep in space, e.g., the M 87 galaxy, seem to get large amounts of energy from an unknown source. These may be pairs of hostile galaxies, fighting vast duels of annihilation...
