...Birds is actually offensive. While I was somewhat uneasy at the characterizations of huge, lusty men and women who were "genuine whores" in Delta, Nin really comes out of the closet in Little Birds. If there are sadists, they are men. If there are masochists, they are women. The twin gods of Freud and D.H. Lawrence's are worshipped more fervently than ever...

The Harvard baseball team played superbly in its home finale yesterday, defeating Boston College, 7-6, in a game that really wasn't that close...

It is called the Sugar Snap pea. Somewhat like a snow pea, but with plump, juicy kernels and melt-in-the-mouth pods, it also has some of the characteristics of a snap green bean and should be eaten pod and all. The Burpee catalogue, which gives it cover-sweetie treatment, calls it "truly fantastic." The authoritative magazine of the venerable Massachusetts Horticultural Society joins...
