...HELPED OPEN THE DOOR for modern biotechnology. Contrary to the then widely held view that bacteria reproduced by cell division, thereby creating genetically identical clones, graduate student Joshua Lederberg discovered in the '40s that bacteria can have sex, reproduce and exchange genetic material. The research won him half the 1958 Nobel Prize. Later, the longtime Rockefeller University president became the first to demonstrate that an organism's genetic material could be manipulated...
...Sorrentino and Dana Spiotta have all written books about nut-job flower children. And here come two more: Peter Carey's His Illegal Self (Knopf; 272 pages) and Hari Kunzru's My Revolutions (Dutton; 288 pages). Didn't anybody just leave it at taking illegal drugs and having promiscuous sex...

Our door boxes are stuffed with student-run publications on a range of topics, from admirable efforts at political-science commentary to social magazines (such as the now-infamous Scene). It goes without saying that different publications have different audiences, and naturally, some are better received than others. Despite the waxing and waning of magazines’ popularity, it says something positive about the state of the free press and entrepreneurial spirit on campus...
