...Harvard Bookstore this afternoon, March 13, at 3 p.m. for a reading/booksigning by Willard Van Orman Quine, Emerson Hall's own living legend. Quine (rhymes with wine) is one of the most influential philosophers of the 20th Century, as well as a sparkling prose stylist and extremely brilliant guy. Tune in the following Friday, same time, same place, for a reading/booksigning by Daniel Dennett, M.I.T. philosopher and author of (among other things) Consciousness Explained.

Roosevelt
...fact, at their recent Juke Jam concert, the Harvard-Radcliffe Opportunes reappeared after their normal set to sing--surprise--"Change in My Life," the emotional gospel tune which many say is their best song. No matter how good the song or the group, it is presumptuous to withhold your best song from the normal set in expectation of being asked for an encore...
