...writing in response to an article by Joshua M. Sharfstein, entitled "Of Mice and Men," which appeared in The Crimson on January 18, 1989. In my opinion, this article, besides lacking proper substantiation of its claims and failing to take many quite important issues into consideration, illustrates the ignorance and biased asumptions which are truly the greatest enemies of the "animal rights movement...

They argue, correctly, that the U.S. must reduce its budget deficit if it wants to maintain its high standard of living but conclude that the proper place for the U.S. to cut back is in the 58 percent of the defense budget that is devoted to NATO...
This is classic instruction for Project STAR (Science Teaching Through Its Astronomical Roots), a program taught in 18 schools in 13 states. STAR is based on the premise that books are abysmal tools for learning science. "It's impossible to understand an astronomy diagram without using three dimensions at proper scale," says Irwin Shapiro, the irrepressible director of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge, Mass., and the man who dreamed up STAR six years ago. "High school science textbooks are impossible. They are dense with concepts and jargon. No one understands what's going on." Adds Kenneth Mirvis...

With adversaries like Gorbachev, it is right and proper that negotiations begin without preconditions. With the P.L.O., however, it may be best to establish the bottom line in advance. As Kissinger suggests publicly, dealing with the P.L.O. requires a focus on substance, because "procedures will not give us a clue to whether there is a chance" for progress. The question requires an advance determination of the ultimate answer: What is Israel willing to give? What can it live with...
