...Evidence, holds that you don't express opinions about matters you know nothing about. (I believe the same principle obtains in chemistry and physics). Now the incontrovertible fact is that neither Professor Kistiakowsky nor Professor Feld have ever seen, let alone read, the report which is the subject of your article and their comments; such knowledge as they believe themselves to possess stems from garbled and in part misleading newspaper leaks. Yet ignorance does not deter Prof. Feld for "discounting" the report and Prof. Kistiakowsky from dismissing it as a "red herring." Which raises serious questions about their judgment...
There are two schools of thought about lectures. One group (many of whom enjoy sleeping late) contends that lectures are one-way informational streets that stifle audience creativity. These new educational left thinkers argue that no one person monopolizes knowledge on a subject, so it's useless to have hundreds listen to one--some form of interaction is better.

...disparate souls as T.E. Lawrence and E.M. Forster. Novelists and reviewers periodically puzzle over the obscurity that has accompanied Hanley's high critical reputation. Yet the matter is not terribly mysterious. He throws no sops to fashion or to the ease of his readers. Hanley's essential subject is a darkness that most people would rather whistle through: the abrasions of living that wear away spirit and soul. A Dream Journey, Hanley's 26th book, is a particularly harrowing example of his craft. Clement Stevens, 50, is a painter with ferocious determination but no special gift. Lena...
