...maybe the fault lies with the NCAA. Harvard's run-ins with the national governing board of college sports are well chronicled and seem to be growing in frequency. Harvard won its appeal of the Stephen Hall (a freshman soccer goalie from England) eligibility case this fall, but the very fact of the appeal indicates some of the friction between Harvard and the NCAA...
...save Darwin and his adherents from journalists! Recently, Professor Stephen J. Gould had a talk at Hillel on the role of individuals in evolution. The note in [that] Saturday's edition of The Crimson (November 2) summarized the main topics fairly. The main problem, however, was the headline, "Gould Suggests Darwin Revisions", which was not only misleading in this particular case, but also may be connected somehow with the surprising unpopularity of Darwin's theory of evolution in certain lay circles. These circles are always eager to greet with applause any apparent weakness of this theory. It is regrettable, therefore...
Some of the staff have left of their own volition. Alan Fisher was hired as a palace butler after having served in that capacity for Bing Crosby. "They are wonderful people," says Fisher, who left in 1984, "but incredibly boring."

"The more sophisticated, the more technologically advanced we become, and the more we feel we can dominate nature," he mused, "the more we feel that it's one of those difficult ironies to bear that we should actually depart and shuffle off this mortal coil." After years of stiff formality, he yearns for simple verities, and talked longingly about the rewards of working with his hands on a farm in Cornwall. "I think it's terribly therapeutic...
...were. Last week 5,000 demonstrators marched near the palace gates, vowing to avenge the slayings of two students who had been shot by security forces during an earlier protest. The next day 2,000 women paraded through the capital to protest the "Marcos-Reagan dictatorship." Then U.S. Ambassador Stephen Bosworth charged that 15 Americans have been killed in the Philippines during the past two years, four of them "allegedly at the hands of security forces." At week's end there was more bad news for Marcos: one of his physicians, Dr. Potenciano Baccay, 45, had been kidnaped and slain...
