Septuplets a miracle? Consider the common marine toad. It lays 35,000 eggs at a time without benefit of Frankensteinian science--just pituitary, brain and gonadal equipment. In sheer numbers, the toad puts us to shame. Isn't it high time we acknowledge that septuplets are the result of scientific technology run amuck?

The film is essentially two hours of watching apple-cheeked children squash anthills for sheer visceral thrill...

The arts deserve (and have to a great degree attained) an important and integral place in the life of the College. But it would be sheer nonsense to campaign for primacy of the arts over other activities...
