...your quest for a bathroom at Lamont Library, be informed by the young man (your peer) at Desk I that it is on the east side of the fourth floor; and he may add the gratuitous reminder (should you visibly wish that it were closer) that it was not until recently that Lamont had to worry about providing a bathroom for women...
...beach that used to be guarded by foot patrols and a Coast Guard cutter has been returned to the public. Last week a stream of strollers made the one-mile trek along the sand from San Clemente State Beach to stare at-and try to peer over-the wooden fence behind the railroad tracks and the 25-ft. bluff behind it.

At the same time, he provided his fellow researchers with a cautionary tale about the perils...
However, Spivack's poetry can be startlingly vivid, and often very fine lines peer through the intimidating mass of bad ones. Almost every poem has a least one strong image or technical device which works well. Her best poem deals with an unpretentious subject: "A Child's Visit to the Biology Lab." When she describes formaldehyde jars, her use of simple detail works beautifully...
