House life. Randomization went into effect with the Class of '99, and house character is unquestionably more artificial today where it can be said to exist at all. Worse yet, gay and black students (among others) no longer have residential spaces where they feel particularly at home. But on the plus side, lingering bastions of old Harvard elitism were wiped out, and self-segregation has been minimized.

...administration. Although President Neil L. Rudenstine seems as distant as ever--and although the Ad Board remains in dire need of reform to make it more accountable--at least Dean of the College Harry R. Lewis '68 is no longer widely reviled.

Companies that build tractors, equipment, highways and skyscrapers--left for dead until a few weeks ago--may be in favor for a year or longer. The biggest cyclical names, like Caterpillar, International Paper and DuPont, have already had huge moves but probably still have room to run. Consider also an investment in a Wilshire 5000 or Russell 2000 stock-index fund. Both have a heavy slug of small- and middle-size basic-industry companies, which tend...
