...first explanation is faulty because Philadelphia was the only Eastern urban center plagued by teacher strikes in 1972-1973 and very few Harvard blacks prep in Philadelphia's public schools. The second explanation is difficult to attack statistically, but the perverse logic behind it is evident...
...nation and earned Nixon the enduring enmity of large segments of the U.S. intelligentsia. Emotional revisionists now argue that if Nixon lied in the Watergate affair, his role in the Hiss case was suspect as well. There is no evidence to support that logic. While the country undoubtedly overreacted to the Communist threat, Nixon cannot be faulted for his persistence in the Hiss case, which he pursued with the same investigative doggedness that his own accusers were to demonstrate in Watergate. Later, Nixon wrote in his autobiographical Six Crises that what had hurt Hiss most was not what...
...considered one of Shaw's "major works," the gentle social satire is nevertheless entertaining and chock-full of Shaw's provocative themes from the unsatisfactory relations of children and parents and women and men to the Life Force that opposes death to the stagnation of English society to the logic of socialism. To wade through this interesting but sticky bog of ideas with a light step, the Harvard Summer School Repertory Theater expends an extraordinary amount of energy. Despite a lack of polish apparent in the slow opening portion of the play, the company held a large opening night crowd...

Filled with a "masochistic self-disgust" that has its origins in his own deformed feet, Gim pei (which might almost be some accidental translingual pun - "Momoi the Gimp") is another of literature...
...Harvard has to "stop inflation" by refusing to give the printers and typesetters the wages they want, and that because of its fringe benefits and character, "the University does not feel it must pay its employees the same pay as other employees bargain for elsewhere." So Harvard, by perverse logic, continues to do what it calls fighting inflation by cutting its own costs and making its employees bear the brunt of the economic squeeze. Although it is one of the largest corporations in America and intimately tied to the centers of corporate and governmental power, the University also keeps...
