...remarkable technological advances were made at papers where unions are weak or nonexistent. Machines were developed that could translate an edited story photographically into justified columns of print, without the intercession of printers, hot metal or ink. These new "cold type" procedures are dramatically faster; a photocomposing machine can spew out 150 lines a minute, compared to three lines a minute for a man and a Linotype.

Under this system, competing against course material rather than classmates would no longer be a myth. And medical school admissions computers across the country might spew out less rejections for Harvard premeds. Many courses in this and other colleges are considered honors courses. Chem 20 should be one of them. Samuel Z. Goldhaber '72 [Harvard Medical School...
...refuse to believe that your cover of Oct. 2 shows two profiles, each depicting a different view of American life. What is shown, in fact, is a chalice-the one from which all Americans drink up the hogwash that both candidates spew forth...
