...turned out, would cost more than the school wanted to spend, and the books in Littauer weren't ideal for the K-School, anyway. But, of course, the K-School couldn't just leave its books as a windfall for the Ec and Gov Departments; the fabled "every tub on its own bottom" dictum that segregates budgets across the University saw to that. Thus, the $250,000, which got folded into the Faculty budget this year under the nebulous "all other expenses" category...
...only just begun. As we learn more and more, says Schmidt, "things that we thought were really harmless are more harmful than we thought." Up to this point, Coddington says, both the federal government and the University have attacked the hazardous waste issue piecemeal. Coddington believes Harvard's "each tub on its own bottom" philosophy--giving each school policy autonomy--has prevented the formation of a University-wide policy. "We have not attacked the problem in a coordinated way," he says. Federal officials are equally frustrated. While the EPA, NRC and other agencies struggle to promulgate rules and regulations, jurisdictional...
...Middle Age Crazy Bruce Dern attempts to bury his anxiety pangs by buying a Porsche and having a one-nighter with a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. Dern recovers his senses and goes home for an alcoholic reconciliation with Wife Ann-Margret in a 105° hot tub. That husband and wife keep their clothes on in the tub is understandable; they're probably worried about an R rating. But don't they know that too much booze in a hot tub can produce a profound lethargy? It might even cook up a script about a 40-year...
...argues that Americans overuse the word decadent, without knowing what they mean by it. They use it to describe a $50 bottle of Margaux, a three-hour soak in the tub, a 40-hour-a-week television habit, the crowds that tell the suicide to jump, a snort of cocaine. And yet Americans mean something by it. The notion of decadence is a vehicle that carries all kinds of strange and overripe cargo-but a confusing variety of meanings does not add up to meaninglessness. Decadence, like pornography (both have something of the same fragrance), may be hard to define...
...University, is the gray eminence of Mass Hall. Steiner's job is to command Harvard's array of lawyers in their skirmishes with the local community, the federal government, and occasionally each other--different branches of the University sometime become entangled with each other, abetted by Harvard's "each tub on its own bottom" policy, which dictates sufficient. But Steiner also serves as Mass that each branch of the University be self-Hall's "eyes and ears;" during the South Africa protests, while Bok was swamped by students, he strolled unassailed among them and tried to pick up the mood...
