Second, I'd like to remind those of you who may have been sleeping during this past week what a great week it has been for sports in the Boston area. The red Sox won their first game, the Celts teased the Sixers and then beat them with a hoop at the buzzer, the Marathon was run, and the Bruins have been playing admirably in Los Angeles, even though they have to use roller skates to move. Locally, every Harvard team has been doing swell, and the weather has been beautiful. We all should go out and watch our intercollegiate...
...untucked white shirt sticking out below his suit jacket. He clutches a protractor in one hand as though he has forgotten it is there, and his mind seems to be somewhere among the stars he is studying. The library where he ponders has no formal checkout desk. No librarians remind borrowers to fill out checkout slips, which simply admonish borrowers to return books as soon as they can. Casual discussions in various offices around the Center concern satellite launching, photon sorting, and ways of measuring gravity waves.

Though it was scientifically determined her tears were only sap, believers continued to trek to the dusty backyard to worship...
...unfortunate that it is necessary to remind a professor who won his tenure in the aftermath of mass social uprising following the assassination of Martin Luther King in 1968, that Afro-American people have had to protest and struggle for what few democratic rights we have won. In the words of Frederick Douglass, a staunch freedom fighter. Without struggle, there is no progress! Whether Mr. Kilson is aware of it or not, there were no tenured Afro-Americans in the Government Department before his appointment, and none since. Ever since then, Professor Kilson has burrowed in deep and launched...
