...feel that debt to all the future students who might be interested in my area,” Schaeffer says. “At the end of this year, I’m putting together a comprehensive packet with all the things that worked and didn’t work during my studies. This is an experiment, and I want my work to be there for all the others who are brave enough to take their own academic path...
Literature held its meeting in a narrow, coffin-like room in the Boylston Hall basement where prospective concentrators got a sample thesis proposal packet as well as the requisite handbook. In its Science Center office, history and science provided a comfortable sofa and chairs for 10 or so interested first-years.

As if to underscore the point, investigators last week identified salmonella in two of several plastic vials of undisclosed substances included in a packet of papers sent to former President Clinton's office in Harlem, though the bacteria apparently grew naturally through fermentation and caused no harm. Still, the concerns of Thompson and his colleagues are understandable. Even without any diabolical intent, U.S. packing houses in recent years have accidentally passed along meat infected...
