...California in San Diego, where the Burbidges have taught for the past decade, Mrs. Burbidge tries to give all the time and counsel she can to women students. "In view of their situation," she says, "they need every encouragement." Together with the late Nobel laureate in physics Maria Goeppert Mayer-who died last month-she has also been pressuring the university to hire more women. A few months ago, she unexpectedly rejected the distinguished Annie J. Cannon Prize, given by the American Astronomical Society for notable work by women in astronomy. "Because of the small number of women...

...with a system under which such atrocities were perpetuated, and glad for that system's demise. It is all to the good that the field is now more open, that creative people are no longer so often slaves to the system, to the Mom-ism of a Louis B. Mayer or the sexism of a Harry Cohen. The production head's wife isn't automatically given plum roles any more, and there seem to be more and better opportunities for new, unknown talent, both on and off screen. Writers may more often direct their own pictures and directors write theirs...

Died. Maria Goeppert Mayer, 65, only woman besides Madame Curie to win the Nobel Prize in physics; of a heart attack; in San Diego. A German-born scientist who emigrated to the U.S. in 1930, Mayer visualized the atomic nucleus as a series of onion-like layers of neutrons and protons. That insight was developed into the Jensen-Mayer "shell theory" of the nucleus, for which she shared the 1963 Nobel Prize with fellow physicists Hans Jensen of Heidelberg and Eugene Wigner of Princeton...

Coach Dick Gagliardi has kept the old freshman line basically intact. Junior Sam Aluni skates with Demment and Rivet on the second line, while sophomores Hurtubise, Mike Walsh and Dave Mayer make up a third unit. Basically, it is a potent forward alignment, and has produced nearly five goals a game. It is on defense that Yale has been done...

...sure Dealing isn't without a certain local interest. For example, as John the rich aesthete, John Litgow '67 is involved in a gentle take-off of the high-handed theatrics of Tim Mayer, fellow Harvard graduate, accomplished theater director, and local legend. And--of even more parochial interest--is the fact that the design of John's bedroom has been at least partly inspired by that of Frank Rich, a former contributor to these pages. Aside from such intramural references, however, Dealing would seem to have little to do with Harvard--until you consider the spirit that underlies...
