...travelling man. If he were a Hardvard student-jock (not such an outrageous thought), he'd be in Ithaca today to see our boys win. I'm in Cambridge, which I guess indicates something. But on to the game, Harvard will win, and Cornell will lose. The Crimson is healthier today, and can rest assured that the Big Red has no tricks- Ed Marinaro will run the ball on at least three-quarters of the plays. That's all there is to say about this or any other game today. But the score should be noted...
...Within the lifetime of one generation, science has realized and overpassed every age-old dream of humanity to which it has applied itself. Why are we so reluctant to use science to achieve a longer and healthier life; maybe to live for centuries, so that we can see all the wonders that we so glibly talk about?

Despite the efforts of those of us over 30, the present young generation is learning what sex is really all about. The naked body and its natural functions are being openly displayed and discussed. The next generation will be healthier for it, and if Freud and all the others were right, then perversion and pornography will decline as honesty and understanding increase.

Parallels with the present-day U.S. are freely drawn. Such cities as Detroit, Pittsburgh and Rochester, the author warns, are more like Manchester than Birmingham.

Boston, on the other hand, looks much healthier to Jane Jacobs, for it has revived its stagnating economy with a swarm of small, flexible electronics and research firms. Postwar Los Angeles also draws praise for spawning new companies to produce goods and services (sliding glass doors, mechanical saws) once imported from other cities. In range of activities, though...
...women approve semipermanent liaisons with a loved one that may or may not lead to marriage. For as long as these relationships last, she said, young people are now apt to insist more strictly than their elders upon "fidelity based on authentic emotion." Such liaisons may ultimately prove healthier emotionally than an adulterous affair. Adulterers, Salzman continued, are usually individuals who fail to commit themselves entirely to a relationship, and therefore are able to reap neither the consequences nor the rewards of passion. In his view, fidelity is not simply a virtue but a way of life that...
