...elementary course it is often remarked that too much has to be covered in a short time to allow anything but a summary of the field. Actually the reverse is true. Because so much is covered, writing a paper on a detailed subject is the only way a student can take a deep breath in the field and discover its true nature. History 1 and Physics B apply this principle with great success, and other elementary courses like Economics A and Biology D would do well to follow suit...
...days that followed the Civil War, and sets the stage for yellow journalism by quoting Whitelaw Reid as saying in 1879: "There is not a newspaper editor in New York who does not know the fortune awaiting the man who is willing to make a daily paper as disreputable and vile as 150,000 readers would be willing to buy."

He received a Harvard magna cum laude degree, and "Jazz Journalism," which is dedicated to a member of the History department, is illustrative of the shallow scholarship that Harvard too often teaches. Mr. Bessie's research is flawless, but his naivete is stupendous. In the entire work the words "morbidity," "propaganda," "sadism," "malice" and "fabrication" do not once appear. Mr. Bessie seems unaware of persecutions and deliberate hoaxes for editorial or sensational reasons. He gives credit to the ingenuity of none but the most scurvy editors...
Both outfits have finished their regular schedules with a record of five victories, one tie, and one defeat. On paper there is little difference in strength between the teams. However, the Winthrop chances for a victory have been lessened by the loss of two star Puritan backs, Johnny Butler and Rich Weller, injured in the last Kirkland contest...
