Secondly, there is the peculiarly intellectual quality of the game, with its geometric layout and its deep well of tradition. Philip Roth, whose new book The Great American Novel concerns the fortunes of a homeless baseball team, recalls: "Not until I got to college and was introduced to literature did I find anything with a comparable emotional atmosphere and as strong an esthetic appeal baseball, with its longeurs and thrills, its spaciousness . . . its peculiarly hypnotic tedium, its heroics, its nuances, its 'characters,' its language, and its mythic sense of itself, was the literature of my boyhood...
...creative use by individuals connected with the Carpenter Center, and the mix of activities -- studio work upstairs, exhibits in the downstairs lobby, photo silkscreening in the basement and film showings in the Beautiful auditorium, to name a few -- has been exciting. The building, in its scale and layout, with rooms of all sizes under one roof, is ideal for hosting a variety of space-consuming activities jointly, and could serve, for example as a resource center combining visual and performing arts.

...battle was neck and neck for a few weeks. The Journal's layout was original and intriguing, with plenty of five column headlines and pictures. Eight Journal pages every day gave readers Harvard, national and international news, and even Radcliffe news--something always scandalously neglected in the old Crimson. The Journal's Sunday edition--it omitted Mondays--scooped The Crimson often on weekend news. Through it all the College maintained neutrality. Although Dean Hanford had tried to stop the split before it became public, he treated both papers impartially, giving official notices and news to both. The 1948 history relates...
