...level of radioactivity set by the FDA for produce (100 kilorads) is not strong enough to slow the ripening of most fruits and vegetables. Plant Biologist Noel Sommer of the University of California at Davis has concluded that 200 kilorads is needed to retard the growth of gray mold on picked strawberries, and at that level the berries turn squishy. Other claimed advantages may have drawbacks. Irradiation "can kill the organisms that produce the signals and odors that warn people they are eating spoiled food," cautions Leonard Solon, director of New York City's Bureau for Radiation Control...

...been replaced in 1916 by a leaky, kitschy amber-glass contraption. (It is now on display in the new granite entrance lobby, designed by the firm of Swanke Hayden Connell.) Appropriately, twelve French artisans were imported to fashion a new torch. They needed a year to make a plywood mold, take a plaster cast of the wooden form, make a metal mold over which reinforcing concrete was poured, and finally fashion the repousse copper flame itself--then cover it in nearly a pound of 24-karat gold leaf...

Kampelman the Democrat is out of the Henry ("Scoop") Jackson mold: like the late Washington Senator, he favors liberal social policies while taking a hawkish stance on national defense. He was not always so promilitary. The son of a hat salesman in the Bronx, Kampelman had graduated from New York University and was working his way through law school when he was drafted in 1942. A Jew, he cited religious reasons in declaring himself a conscientious objector. Says he: "I just couldn't see myself killing anyone." Rather than fight, he volunteered for alternative service in a program...

First, President Bok conspired to influence the character of the Board of Overseers, an independent governing body which represents the Harvard alumni and theoretically maintains a check on his own authority to mold Harvard policy. President Bok, who has long opposed divestment from firms operating in South Africa, sought to discourage alumni from voting for three Overseers candidates running on a divestment platform...
