...Official Register as "Harvard's answer to the problem of maintaining a collegiate way of living in a twentieth-century college," might not be best for all students, President Bok argued in 1972. Instead of building new Houses, Harvard would seek other accommodations for those who prefer them. Surely this plan is cheaper than building a new House and less contentious than ripping down old frame houses. But the quality of undergraduate living at the college is compromised. That some students prefer alternate arrangements does not mean that these are best. For a diploma mill, a nine to five association...
...Right on, Midge Decter! Let the Ms. girls rant and rave; let them prefer usually dull 9-to-5 routines in business to taking care of their own kids. Poor things!

The majority of men talk during intercourse, while their partners are more silent-so much so that 64% of the men expressed the wish that the women would speak up more...
...French agree with the late President Charles de Gaulle's celebrated dictum that the pill is a mere "diversion," which the state has no obligation to provide for its citizens. Some 54% of the men said that they still practice coitus interruptus, and most of the women prefer the unreliable "rhythm method." Only 9% of the women take the pill, while some 30% of all those polled said that they are opposed to any form of birth control. Many were skittish about answering questions regarding masturbation and homosexuality, and some declined to reply at all. Only...
