...quote Professor Herf, "I can see little reason why any young person with integrity would want to become a scholar," unless he or she is willing to reveal his or her sources of funding and sponsorship, and to indicate whether the sponsor has been granted a right of pre-publication review. A scholar, especially when he is also a teacher, has a commitment to openness and honesty in his relation with readers and students. Concealment deprives them of an important element in evaluating research; selective concealment is a form of deception. Teaching and scholarship require trust; trust, in turn, requires...

An 1871 posed photograph of the Natural History Society in suits, bowties, and hats captures two mischievous members stuffing a small alligator into a jug. Only in these pictures might a nostalgic Harvard alum finally recover a piece...
...guests who gathered last week on the roof of the garage at the Century Plaza Hotel in Los Angeles were treated to a strange sight. As a chorus line of cheerleaders kicked and a bevy of multicolored balloons rose in the sky, a huge cloth dropped to reveal a two-story model of a camera. Polaroid was pulling out all the f-stops to introduce the Spectra, a new instant camera that will sell for a steep...
