WRITING A THESIS is probably a good thing to do; without it you get restless, nervous, and wrought up over trifles; with it you get nervous, wrought up over details and are in danger of going stir crazy in front of a typewriter.

...Arthur Smithies of Kirkland and Bruce Chalmers of Winthrop will both reach 65, the mandatory retirement age--and there are bound to be some more vacancies in the next few years, especially since Bok's appointments only last five years. Last year, Vorenberg's appointment created more of a stir than Kiely's, if only because Bok didn't tip the Republicans off at the time.
