Cramer didn't use dogs in his experiments, but rather 160 Cliffies over a one-year period. The girls listened through earphones to speech varying in speed from 450 to 930 w.p.m., and were asked to write down whatever they could understand from the tapes. Cramer didn't use any Harvard men in his testing. "I wanted to see what could be achieved under optimum conditions," he said. "Women have been shown to have a consistently higher verbal ability than men," who, he added quickly, "are usually better at math...

Mary Renault's appreciation of the glory that was Greece has produced three fine period novels-The Last of the Wine, The King Must Die and The Bull from the Sea-each fondly flavored with enthusiasm and scholarship. In this fourth reconstruction of the Hellenic past, she grapples with the ordeal of Dion of Syracuse, who tried vainly, 24 centuries ago, to convert a tyranny into Plato's ideal city-state. This theme does not easily catch the modern fancy; after all, the roll of centuries has only emphasized the unattainability of Dion's dream. It appears...
