To test the welds now, inspectors will in some cases have to cut out at random one made by each of the hundreds of welders who have worked on the project, examine it and then accept or reject the rest of that welder's work on the basis of the sample. Given the difficulties of these and other tests, the utilities may find it easier simply to junk the plant...

Fiscal squeezes are the rule these days around the University, after all, and there is no reason to sink extra money into job placement, worthy as it is, before more fundamental tasks--from scholarships to junior faculty salaries. Moreover, with the perennially tight academic job market showing signs of opening up after two decades, it may well be a good time to reevaluate Harvard's approach to career placement for graduate students. Harvard officials promise, finally, to explore other ways to help Ph.D.'s enter...
