...never claimed that the figures compiled by her office represent the extent of the problem of sexual harassment at Harvard. Furthermore, at this stage, it is misleading (as we pointed out) even to refer to "cases" of harassment as the behaviors described on a survey may be considered quite minor, and not sexual harassment, by the respondent. As of yet, we have no way of determining what constitutes a "case" of harassment. Therefore to say the survey shows that "most cases go unreported," is not accurate at this early date...
...record, to be sure, was only a minor increase over Fermilab's existing capability. In 1976, five years after its completion, the accelerator hit 500 GeV and has been operating close to that level ever since. But the jubilant scientists nonetheless had reason to celebrate. The test meant that years of work had finally paid off and that the $130 million set aside to make the machine the most complex accelerator ever built had really been well spent. In the months ahead, it will gradually be boosted to 800 GeV and perhaps by next year to a trillion electron...
...team in Montreal, and Jackie Robinson played there in 1946. "Those were happy summers," says Al Campanis, the Montreal shortstop then, the Dodger general manager now. Before Cincinnati or Detroit ever heard of Sparky Anderson, he managed in Toronto. When Toronto grew past the point of accepting the minor leagues of anything, baseball left town for nine years.

...burden. Possibly the Blue Jays have found the past failures of the Toronto Maple Leafs a blessing. "I think Canadians understand baseball a lot better than Americans understand hockey," says Bob Bourne, an expert witness. Before ever playing left wing for the New York Islanders, Bourne was a minor league infielder in the Houston Astros' system. (The Astros outfielder Terry Puhl and the Chicago Cubs pitcher Ferguson Jenkins are the most eminent of the few Canadian-born major leaguers.) "I learned to play baseball on the farm, against the wall at the back of the barn," says Bourne...
...whenever she felt like it-and her son-in-law Dan the butcher called her the Queen of Persia. She sheltered, in her take-it-or-leave-it way, her unmarried daughters and whatever married ones happened, at any given moment, to have found their husbands redundant (men are minor irritants in this matriarchy...
