...scientists have been seeking to identify and understand the basic building blocks and structure of matter. Last week Sweden's Royal Academy of Sciences honored three Americans whose discoveries have advanced this understanding. It awarded the 1976 Nobel Prize in Physics to Burton Richter of Stanford University and Samuel C.C. Ting of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for their investigations of subatomic particles, and gave the chemistry prize to William Lipscomb of Harvard University for his work in explaining the structure of the chemicals called boranes. Together with the previous awards of the medicine prize to Baruch Blumberg...
...Importance of Being Earnest, written by Oscar Wilde, directed by Samuel Bloomfield and produced by Jeffrey Rubins, is being performed in the Leverett House Old Library Theater at Harvard, Thursday through Sunday at 8 p.m. Tickets are available at the ticket office in Holyoke Center from...

...laboratory and the origination of the electronic battlefield by Professors Kaysen and Kistiakowsky. Many students are familiar with this sort of involvement of natural scientists in war research, but fewer realize that the same kind of complicity exists in the social sciences. An outstanding example of the latter is Samuel P. Huntington, who justified the practice of "forced-draft urbanization" in Vietnam. In the July 1968 issue of Foreign Affairs, Huntington explained that the National Liberation Front held the "good Maoist expectation that by winning the support of the rural population it could eventually isolate and overwhelm the cities...

Devised by Britain's man-about-the-theater Kenneth Tynan, it sought unabashedly to tap the voyeur market - or rather, that part of it unwilling to get its jollies in a topless go-go bar. Tynan's tease was dressed up with skits by Samuel Beckett, Jules Feiffer and Tennessee Williams, among others, and it was billed as an evening of "elegant erotica." Outraged clerics and unimpressed critics called it other things, but Calcutta ran three years in New York (where it is now being revived) - and it is still running in London where it opened...
