Since the feature review of the New York Times Book Review last Sunday was of Professor J. D. Watson's book, The Double Helix, it is perhaps not too late to comment on the action of the President and Fellows of Harvard College in forbidding the Harvard University Press to publish the book. It is my feeling that this action was unwarranted and constituted a serious infringement of academic freedom. I am not a biologist, nor am I in detail acquainted with the technical issues of the controversy: I base this judgment on general grounds...
...response to these questions represents the weakest point in the Administration's case. "Review of action makes many reported contacts and torpedoes fired appear doubtful," wired Captain John Herrick, commander of the patrol.

Finally, a penalty shot is occasionally awarded at the referee's discretion when a player throws his stick at the puck in his defending zone or commits some other flagrant act not covered by a specific penalty. Here one man from the opposing team is given...
...name of all the past and present editors of the Partisan Review did Jack Kerouac, cult leader of post-World War II intellectual vagrants, ever attain standing as a member (let alone chieftain) of the avantgarde? Vanity of Duluoz, his best book, is a picaresque novel in a tradition as old as Tristram Shandy and about as avant-garde as Laurence Sterne-a man in holy orders, puckish though...
