Furthermore, it leaves open the question of what to do about material written under the promise of confidentially. Harvard's intention to contact those who wrote confidential recommendations to ask them if they object to leaving their letters left in the files seems to be a just solution. It is disturbing, however, that the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences intends to destroy the records of those who fail to respond or cannot be contacted. It would be much better if the rest of the University followed the College's example and retained this kind of material intact...
...overcome this problem Ryle, who was knighted in 1966 and named England's Astronomer Royal in 1972, conceived of simultaneously using several small and widely spaced radio telescopes only 10 yds. in diameter and zeroing all of them in on a celestial object...
...tantalizing speculation to rest but eventually confirmed that a pulsar is a neutron star. Space, in fact, seems to be full of neutron stars. Since Hewish and his assistant, Jocelyn Bell, found the first one, about 100 more have been identified by astronomers. A neutron star is a bizarre object. It is formed when a giant star exhausts its nuclear fuel and collapses inward on itself, crushing much of its matter into a ball of neutrons some ten miles in diameter-but so dense that a thimbleful of it would weigh millions of tons on earth. Scientists theorize that...
...other artists frowned on that as "mechanical." But in the next decade, when preplanned works made to the artist's order became an "issue," Liberman, who by then had gone back, or on, to a splashier style, was criticized for being too obsessed with the handmade object. He had exploited optical dazzle in works like After-image (1955) long before Op art was ever heard of. His use of chance and planned matrices foreshadowed the later interest in serial and process imagery, but he never got credit for that either...
Squatriglia might be an object of compassion. But he is significantly marred by the loss of his right eye, which is covered over with a bizarre skin graft. His blindness to the fact of role-playing is similarly a source of grotesque pity, certainly nothing with which we can identify. Chee-Chee calls him "indulgence personified," and deftly calculates Squatriglia's ineptitude at deception into his own plans to take in Nada...
