...from notes he compiled in the course of writing a book. As soon as he completed the manuscript, he would move on to teach another course in another branch of economics in the interest of preventing boredom. For the same reason, Craig, Fairbank and Reischauer consistently lecture in Soc Sci 11 on the parts of the East Asian tome they didn't write. Loomis decided to leave his Math I teaching post as soon as the department voted to switch to his text several years ago. "I get embarrassed about using my own," Loomis confided. "Anyway, it's easier...
Most of the other criticism against Davis stressed the racial implications of his articles. There was a reason for this, and even in retrospect a good one. It has to do with statements Davis had made linking genetics and heredity. Davis, who teaches Nat Sci 37, "Evolution, Genetics and Society," only goes halfway in a theory of biological determinism: He says there is no way to statistically prove difference in intelligence. But he has made pronouncements to the effect that the separation of gene pools of the races down through the years may cause genetic differences...

Obviously more sophisticated than the sci-fi schlock we've grown used to, Solaris promises to give us a provocative view of the race to space, and a commentary, perhaps, on the moral and political implications of expecting to treat other forms of life as "guinea pigs." Talk of morality, immorality, scientific abuse and Hiroshima hums...
...about two schoolboys who find themselves on a strange planet whose black leader persuades them to help destroy a wolf that has been ravaging the land. Another, Spacecraft One, about a mile-long spaceship in its search for life on other planets, is Disney's most elaborate sci-fi undertaking since 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The Black Cauldron, still in the treatment-writing stages, is about a pig keeper's struggle with a villain whose shtick is regenerating an army of warriors from dead bodies-a long way from Poppins. Sex and excessive violence still...
