...tone of Stephanie B. Russek's open letter to Dean Harry R. Lewis '68 ("Dean Lewis Should Respond Positively to Students," April 9, 1996) is so disrespectful it borders on the scandalous. I will not even try to refute Ms. Russek's specious argumentation for changing the term "freshman" to "first-year," though her lack of rigor is alarming, I am much more shocked by her vicious personal attack on Dean Lewis...
...wishes in both word and deed. In exchange, we would honor your with our respect and admiration. These are valuable items, and I hope that you would be honored to receive them. I only await the day when I, and other students, can bestow them. --Stephanie B. Russek...

Russek treated one series of 102 patients suffering from severe angina for six years with a special combination of drugs: propranolol (Inderal), a drug that slows down the heart and reduces its need for oxygen, and long-acting nitrates that dilate the blood vessels and increase blood flow to the heart muscle. Only 1.2% of Russek's coronary patients died each year-about the same mortality rate from heart attacks...
