Universities will be among the first to suffer under such rules if they are not challenged. Understandably, then, among the signatories of Friday’s statement by the Academies was Harvey V. Fineberg ’67, who is the president of the Institute of Medicine and the former provost of Harvard...
That means he is a perfect citizen of what we might call Andersonville, that cheerless Southern California tract of warehouses, alleys and unwelcoming apartments whose prisoners suffer the blind assaults of grim fate without a murmur, without even the consolations of, say, existentialism to lighten their burden. This movie is the writer-director's most airless exploration of this postmodernist's Yoknapatawpha County, an antimovie that rejects even the most minimal obligations to character and plot that commercial films are supposed to respect.

...Even before Sept. 11, Pollack and Noyce also had to suffer an unenthusiastic Hollywood. As Pollack recalls, "The first reaction anyone in America had was, 'We've done Vietnam.'"

Concentrators should not feel that in order to write a thesis they have to ally themselves with a professor and choose an area of focus during their sophomore year. Advisers should never discourage thesis writing or imply that it would impose too much of a burden on the department or its faculty. It is daunting enough to have to devote an entire year to research; students’ dedication to such an intensive project should be their...
