...trouble with Chimera is that Barth has grown too ambitious too fast. He is trying all at once to create new narrative forms, to engage in political satire and to tell stories. But the form is not yet ready, the satire is shrill, and the stories suffer. Chimera is an attempt to join the mythic experiments of Lost in the Funhouse with the storytelling--extravagance of The Sot-Weed Factor, and Barth himself seems not to have realized how monumental a task that...

Follow-up studies indicate that some patients suffer psychological problems after the operation. There is also suspicion-still very tentative-that physical problems can follow for a small number of men.

Capital spending should be up about...
Injuries, which invariably signal the downfall of any team, are particularly important this season because of Harvard's overall lack of depth. As Munro admitted yesterday, "We're thin." Unfortunately, several starters have already suffered slight injuries as a result of the MIT game, and if any or all are unable to play, or perform at full efficiency, the team and the teamwork will suffer accordingly...
