Feudalism in old Japan was so strict that lords could even dictate what color and what kind of clothing their serfs could wear. Craftsmen were restricted to certain specialized skills, such as carving, lacquering, throwing clay, screening silk. And during lifetimes of limited expression, they became surpassing experts at their narrow specialty. For example, etna, often painted reliefs of white horses, were Shinto offerings that recall live horses dedicated to the god spirit Kami, who rode a sacred horse while blessing his worshipers. Ema horses were bought for a song and were left in temples; but they were executed with...
...among researchers, educators, and clinicians nearly impossible. In fact, at most medical schools, the teaching staff is rigidly divided into a "preclinical faculty" (the anatomists, biochemists, neurophysiologists, and so forth who usually pursue basic research) and a "clinical faculty" (the practicing physicians associated with a school's teaching hospitals). Strict affiliation with one's department or teaching hospital is so much the rule, that in many universities, a man on the faculty of medicine has no contact whatever with a colleague in the biology department under a faculty of arts and sciences, even when the two are working...
...strict economic standards, building modern passenger ships to ply the Atlantic makes little sense. A luxury liner costs upwards of $50 million; a utilitarian jet costs one-tenth as much, can carry 15% more passengers over the same distance in the same amount of time. Moreover, the airlines have captured four-fifths of the Atlantic business, and several shipping companies are in trouble. These cold facts do not, however, chill the warmly sentimental directors of the state-run Italian Line. In the greatest investment in money and tonnage ever made by a shipping company in a single year, the line...
Paul J. Mundie Jr. '66, president of the Harvard Debate Council, said yesterday that his group responded enthusiastically to the idea. But when their faculty advisor, Harry P. Kerr, associate professor of public speaking, talked about the plan with Dean Monro, he learned that there is a strict Harvard policy against extracurricullar organizations participating in activities during exam period...
...troops were under strict orders not to fire unless fired upon. For several hours, paratroopers, forbidden to interfere, watched rebels assemble a .50-cal. machine gun atop a building. When the machine gun cut loose, the troopers disassembled it with one shot from a 106-mm. recoilless rifle. But that was unusual. A sniper pinned a paratrooper in a doorway one night, and before corps headquarters finally granted permission for covering fire, the G.I. counted 183 shots zinging off the walls around him. "We're fighting politics, and maybe that's O.K.," said the sergeant. "But, man, they...
