...strikes me that the question of Christmas trees at Harvard transcends the issue of separation of Church and State. After all, the Christmas tree is a token of the relig ous beliefs of a large faction of civil society. In a pluralistic system of the Hegelian mode, public expenditure for Christmas trees would not seem to violate the conception of the modern state as the embodiment of the apex of the free spirit. I realize that this may be a questionable contention. But it strikes me that Ms. Reisman's point of view reflects outmoded natural law thought...
...more limited current study of 367 children in the same grades in an upper-class Boston suburb (whose parents voted almost 2 to 1 for Nixon in 1972) shows a complete reversal. The President is now seen as what Arterton calls "truly malevolent, undependable, untrustworthy, yet powerful and danger ous." Where only 7% of the fourth-graders said of President Kennedy in 1962 that "he is not one of my favorites," 70% of Arterton's fourth-graders now hold that negative opinion of Nixon...
...chicken (and maybe too sensible?) to try streaking ourselves. So rather than be left out in the cold (figuratively streaking, of course), we naturally turn to streak jokes. Although habit-forming, there is no evidence that streak-joking is hazard ous to your health. Examples...
...ironies of the King-Evert rivalry that the younger woman has benefited heavily from King's zeal ous campaign for bigger purses and in creased recognition for women's ten nis. Yet Evert, a traditional type from a devoutly Catholic family, pooh-poohs Women's Lib and has criticized King's break from the male-dominated U.S.L.T.A. The cash, however, is nonideological. So far this year, Evert has won $70,050. With endorsement mon ey from Puritan and Wilson Sporting Goods, she figures to earn around $150,000. Most of the offers to lend her name...
...used the radio telescope at Green Bank, W. Va., in an attempt to pick up signals from nearby stars, they detected regular pulses that were later presumed to be emanating from a secret U.S. radar experiment. In the mid-1960s, a Russian astronomer detected varying signals from a mysteri ous radio source; Tass breathlessly reported that the signals were a beacon from a supercivilization. The source was later identified as a distant, starlike quasar. When Cambridge Astronomer Anthony Hewish and his assistant Jocelyn Bell in 1967 recorded blips coming from space at precise intervals, they playfully named the sources LGMs...
