Corson's speech followed last week's controversy over the dismissal of Herbert Parker, former assistant director of financial aid at Cornell...
...displayed while they say in are admirable signs of dedication at a time when student activisim has been replaced nationally by a "new mood on campus." Their actions were much more successful than the protests launched against the conservative Harvard Economics Department when it released Samuel S. Bowles and Herbert M. Gintis three years ago. Harvard students clearly are not aware of the decisions the Economics Department here is making, or of what place Marxist scholarship will have at the University.

...written only to get letters in return. Desperate for affection, often in the most childish way, she created pet names for all her correspondents. Her cousin Emma Vaughan was variously "Toad", "Todkins", and "Toadlebinks"; her sister Vanessa was "Dolphin", "Sheepdog" or just "Nessa"; her brother Thoby was "Gribbs", "Grim", "Herbert", or "Thobs"; and she signed herself just about anything: "Billy Goat", "Goat", "Goatus Esq.", "Wallaby", "Kangaroo", "Apes", and so forth.

After two years of study and ten volumes of research, in 1970 it reported "no substantial basis" for the belief that exposure to erotica causes sex crimes or bad moral character. Yet the commission's ten volumes hardly settled the matter. Says Herbert Abelson, president of the Response Analysis Corporation in Princeton: "You can use studies to demonstrate whatever you want." Harvard Political Scientist James Q. Wilson argues that the National Commission on the Causes and Prevention of Violence decided television violence was dangerous, with as little real proof at hand as the obscenity commission...
