...dogs really man??s best friend? The Harvard Cognitive Evolution Lab in William James Hall, now home to more than 1,000 dogs, may hold the answer. The dogs will be used in behavior studies, which, according to Psychology Professor Marc D. Hauser, the leader of the study, will reveal “the extent to which domestication will change dogs into the proximity of human thinking.” The lab formerly housed 40 cottontop tamarin monkeys but were recently replaced by dogs because of the high cost of caring for the monkeys.

Paint-can drums thundered and homemade signs shuddered outside the Holyoke Center last Thursday as the Student Labor Action Movement protested the university’s staff layoffs. But the hordes of passersby—aloof to the anger—indicated that the “Man?? needn’t quake in his boots: The picketers, like many campus activists, proved ineffective...

The tenets of theology or the moral virtues—the most important knowledge for the soul—may have had greater priority...

One old woman, refusing to spit on and insult Senyor on his death bed, instead closes the dying man??s eyes so that he does not witness his own humiliation. This ought to be a moment of profound pathos. But in the midst of the barrage of grotesque images, its matter-of-fact account scarcely registers. Perhaps the novel’s greatest weakness is its inability...
