...Harvard community, but these responsibilities are not best met by drawing up a list of "community problems" and then urging the President and Fellows to "do something." From time to time--as when a great civil rights leader is senselessly murdered--the instinct to act in this manner becomes almost irresistible. But it would be a mistake. Harvard cannot solve most of the problems that face us, nor can it always act collectively to make a contribution toward their solution. It is too easy to arouse false hopes and to stimulate unrealizable expectations. There have been many calls to action...

...would suck up bristles -which otherwise might float freely and clog up instruments in the weightless environment of the spacecraft. The Apollo 10 astronauts had a simpler solution. They broke out a razor and a tube of brushless shaving cream and attacked their week-old beards in the traditional manner. The bristles were successfully contained in gobs of shaving cream that were scraped from their faces and collected in a towel.

...majority of chaplains serving in Viet Nam, however, are convinced of the justice of the American cause, and a few have gone out of their way to support it in a somewhat untraditional manner. One chaplain, for instance, likes to take a turn firing M-60 machine guns from Huey helicopters. Another wears a shoulder holster and a .45 even when in Saigon. A third, with more honesty than relish, admits that "I could kill a man in a second. After you see how vicious the V.C. can be, it's hard to separate yourself from it." Some genuinely...

...Things. Cage patterned six of the harpsichord solos after a 200-year-old romp known as Dice Music. Attributed to Mozart, who liked a joke as much as anyone else, Dice Music consists of a waltz theme and a set of variations that are determined in a Cage-like manner, by rolling dice. In Hpschd, Cage embroidered the variations with snippets from works by Beethoven, Chopin, Schumann, Gottschalk, Busoni-even Cage. Each player had seven 20-minute chunks of music to choose from. Once having played, he was free to chat for a while with the listeners (who were given...
