...appraisal of the editorial comment Lectures "Darwin Vulgarized" found on page 2 of The Crimson, 13 April 1978. I attended the lecture in question. And as a student of anthropology and psychology I have been studying these subjects for over ten years and have been learning the literature and model of "sociobiology" for the past three years--three more years, I would propose, than J. Wyatt Emmerich, author of the editorial, has been studying this new and thought-provoking paradigm of social science...
Otto Eckstein, Warburg Professor of Economics, yesterday called Moore a "brilliant teacher and great role model," and said he was mystified by Moore's decision to leave...
When auto executives made their annual sales forecasts last year, they reached a consensus that more than 11 million cars would be sold during the 1978 model-year. Then they spent the winter chewing their nails; as snowstorms ravaged the Midwest and Northeast, sales fell to an annual rate of around 10 million. Now the prognosticators of Detroit think they are being vindicated.

Sales figures suggest that buyers are becoming more discriminating and value conscious. When General Motors in mid-March ran special sales contests, during which dealers pare prices, sales increased dramatically.

Ford's lacocca puts himself...
With another six months of the model-year ahead, only the most cockeyed optimist would feel certain that the present strong industry sales trend will continue. But auto executives are ever positive. The fact that dealer inventories are at an alltime record of more than 2 million cars does not bother them. "That's about a 60-day supply, which is normal, given the present selling rate," says Pontiac General Manager Alex Mair. To demonstrate their confidence, the carmakers have scheduled production of some 850,000 vehicles this month, the highest for the industry in any April...
