Whether this point is worth making over and over again, at such length and great expense to collectors, seems moot-though not to Cowart, who detects in Lichtenstein's ability to apply his method an almost Picasso-like energy. "Tomorrow he could take Renaissance, Classical or other known subjects or, on the other hand, quickly invent a new vocabulary of images," Cowart writes in the catalogue. Perhaps, but would it matter? What one misses in a large proportion of the work on view in St. Louis is, simply, the sense of necessity-an engagement deeper than style...
...cost even more than the figures suggested by the Dober report. But Coburn and others see the study as a potentially beneficial, alerting the College to specific steps which may be taken to improve the Houses both mechanically and structurally. The study marks a shift to a more detailed method of tackling the housing problem, Coburn says. "What we're really gearing toward is a revision of policy, rather than renovations," she adds...
...different from the stagnation felt in recent years at the College. While the College has scrambled to save a buck, the athletic department has vigorously updated facilities--which, according to John P.

And, although they have not yet determined the accuracy rate, a team of Med School physicians in November discovered a method of sickle-cell anemia treatment that may be a major, if first, step in curing the often-fatal disease, which afflicts 30,000 to 60,000 Black Americans a year...
...thing that almost all faculty agree on is that the University's unique method of awarding tenure influences its ability to grant it--and the likelihood of doing so. Unlike most universities. Harvard tenures faculty after an claborate process--which one professor calls "checks and balances"--that begins with departmental nominations, continues with approval by an ad hoc committee and concludes with a final go-ahead from President Bok. Deeply embedded in each stage is the notion that Harvard must maintain its high academic standards with every appointment. Research and professional esteem thus come to play a decisive factor...
