...writing in response to an article by Joshua M. Sharfstein, entitled "Of Mice and Men," which appeared in The Crimson on January 18, 1989. In my opinion, this article, besides lacking proper substantiation of its claims and failing to take many quite important issues into consideration, illustrates the ignorance and biased asumptions which are truly the greatest enemies of the "animal rights movement...
...bitter medicine. Americans hold this view even though they pay an average of only 92.6 cents per gal., including all taxes, which is one of the lowest levels in the world -- and below 1950 prices after inflation is deducted. In a TIME survey conducted last week by the opinion firm Yankelovich Clancy Shulman, nearly three-quarters of those polled said they opposed any tax boost to reduce the budget deficit.

...reading Suk Han's opinion piece of December 1, "Whither Harvard Athletics," we were once again saddened to see that within this college's educated and enlightened student body, stereotyping is alive and well. We do not fault Han for airing her opinions; it appears that Han's feelings are not unique to her, and we applaud her willingness to include them in this recurring discussion. We do believe, however, that her opinions and comments on the nature of athletics at Harvard are based on several misconceptions regarding the policies of Harvard's Departments of Athletics and Admissions...
