Harvard's Biological Laboratories have made some major contributions to the world of science. City Councilor Alfred E. Vellucci wants contributions of another sort, however--tax dollars. And he's already pushed a motion through the City Council ordering an investigation of the labs' tax status...
...committee on assembly outreach" will supervise "town meetings" in each of the Houses, and will circulate polls and referendums to determine student opinion on particular issues, George J. Sanchez '80, sponsor of the motion, said last night...

The idea is a waste--anchormen rarely leave their offices, and their sole purpose is to introduce the film segments and provide a stable rhythm. The triple anchor system created visual anarchy which prevented a clear flow and added nothing in the bargain. The disconcerting...
Meanwhile, Einstein's restless mind had turned from special relativity's uniform motion to the greater complexities of accelerated movements. These are motions involving changes in velocity: as when the earth's gravity draws an object toward the ground, the object's velocity increases by 9.8 meters (32 ft.) per second each second. Einstein took an approach entirely different from Newton. The 17th century master had noted what seemed to be a remarkable coincidence: gravity acted in the same way on all bodies, regardless of their mass. That could be shown by an apocryphal experiment of Galileo's in which...
