...says, "He's explaining how breaking up the oil companies would work." Another cartoon by Robert Weper has a store clerk explaining a new game to a customer: "It's a real challenge. You have to get the oil out of the ground and to market through this maze of federal restrictions, state regulations and local restrictions." Mobil then sends these cartoons to about 5,000 local newspaper throughout the country. The papers are invited to publish the cartoons free of charge...
...face of the University's high-powered opposition. As the union drive wore on, their skepticism seemed justified; Daniel Steiner '54, general counsel to the University, relied on an expensive team of Ropes and Grey lawyers to tie up District 65's bid for an organizing election in a maze of legal challenges. Harvard contended that the union could not organize just the Med Area, but rather that Med Area workers would have to seek representation in a bargaining unit that would include all University clerical and technical employees. Furthermore, the University argued that District 65's proposed bargaining unit...
...finding a prospective student is the easy part. Getting him or her into Harvard--leading the prospect carefully through the maze of tempting scholarship offers from Big Ten schools, and then seeing if he or she will be accepted by an admissions committee that doesn't roll over and play dead for every all-state linebacker that comes along--often creates problems.

...Pentagon is not always the labyrinth of secrets that outsiders imagine. For this week's cover story on defense, Correspondents Bruce Nelan and Jerry Hannifin penetrated the maze and found, according to Hannifin, that the military is "one of the most accessible beats in Washington."

People stop to chat in the halls, and the doors of the brass are open...
...behaved pretty much like chimps" until around 10,000 B.C., Jaynes said last week in an interview in Boston. The minds of these prehistoric creatures could solve simple problems and think crudely, much like rats performing in a maze, but they lacked the ability to reflect on the past, ponder the present, or imagine the future. Language developed in the eons between 100,000 and 10,000 B.C., but Jaynes insists that this ability--while important for the development of consciousness in the future--emerged independently. Just as somnambulists and people under hypnosis can speak perfectly intelligible English without...
