...accounts of heavy punishment being visited upon miscreant taxpayers. The timing is no accident: the Internal Revenue Service likes to give the impression at filing time that, like the Mounties, it always gets its man. Last week, as some 62.9 million Americans went through their annual throes, they could reflect on the well-publicized tax indictment of J. Truman Bidwell, chairman of the board of governors of the New York Stock Exchange...
Died. Homer William Smith, 67, lanky, leading U.S. physiologist who was first to trace the evolution of the kidney, for 34 years taught New York University medical students to reflect on the arts as well as the sciences, and as a passionate agnostic sought to prove in his books Kamongo and Man and His Gods that organized religion is a figment of man's fearful myths; of a cerebral hemorrhage; in Manhattan...
Nixon's problems with the extreme right of his party reflect more than an ideological split. Californians reject the give-and-take game which most people consider politics, in favor of much more devious routes to power.

Moore gouges holes in his sculpture to "make it immediately more three-dimensional." The making of a sculpture becomes a three-way tug of war between the inner life of the subject, the rhythm of the material...
...some way dependent upon the social system. The editors might be interested to know that most girls are attracted to Radcliffe by the quality of the Faculty and by the geographical location. Indeed, most girls come to Radcliffe knowing nothing about the student government rules. The CRIMSON might well reflect upon the maturity and responsibility of the Harvard College student in general. Since he lives under a system that guides his social life with extremely strict parietal hours for freshmen and only somewhat liberalized hours for upperclassmen, we find it difficult to believe the CRIMSON'S contention that the quality...
