...DIED. SHELDON HARRIS, 74, historian who overcame decades of Japanese and U.S. government obstruction to describe biological and chemical warfare experiments by the Japanese army during World War II; in Los Angeles. Days before his death, a Japanese court had given the first official acknowledgment of the experiments but rejected victims' claims for compensation...
Harvard has abdicated its leadership among universities who oppose on-campus military recruiting, and that may prove to send a far-reaching signal. Higher education specialist Sheldon Steinbach has predicted that allowing military recruiters at Harvard, which has both a world-class reputation and a history of standing up to the military, could lead many other law schools to follow.

No nontraditional Harvard students. Short of asking the resident Crimson computer geeks to trace Shelley’s login location, I had exhausted every possible venue for finding out information about my alter ego. Shelley was gone—and the trail had grown...
They settle on the movie’s yang, Smoochy, a big purple rhinoceros. Smoochy is the creation of the idealistic and utterly naive Sheldon Mopes, acted by Edward Norton (Fight Club, American History X). Randolph naturally finds Mopes’ usurpation of his life intolerable and psychotically sets about plotting Smoochy’s grisly demise...
