...they can see themselves through Shange's eyes, black men are going to wince. They are portrayed as brutal con men and amorous double-dealers. A segment called "Dark Phrases," featuring Janet League, telescopes a black wom an's experience, and in a cruel tale of love and blood lust called "A Nite With Beau Willie Brown," Trazana Beverley brings the audience to a culminating gasp of agony. An altogether excellent cast not only dances but delivers lines with a revivalist fervor that might have inspired Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego in the fiery furnace...
...Most other plants must obtain their nitrogen from natural and man-made fertilizers. But scientists are seeking to give more plants this nitrogen-fixing ability. At Utah's Brigham Young University, biologists are attempting to "infect" other species of plants with rhizobia. Scientists in England have isolated the segment of the rhizobial DNA that controls the nitrogen-fixing capability. Now they and other scientists are trying to incorporate this gene into the genetic material of plants like corn. These and other efforts to give grain plants the capability of nitrogen fixation could, if successful, increase the yield of plants...

Although Jonahs says he received threats and taunts from members of the crowd, he surely represented a much larger segment of the Harvard community than was apparent that day.

However, recently the Crimson has ceased being this source of amusement for me and has become more a source of concern. There has been a distressing increase in the tendency towards irresponsible and biased reporting, disconnected thinking, and overly ideological repressive editorials...
...incompletely, and with an obvious implication of how they should be judged. The Crimson, in its usual style of taking the most sensational part of a story and exploiting it for all its emotional worth, has made reasoned discussion or even refutation of these views impossible for a large segment of the university that depends on the Crimson for facts, and is instead given hype...
