While sloppy, wet, and generally miserable weather continues to inundate Cambridge for the next few months, 'Cliffies will no longer have to arrive in class with their long hair damp and stringy. A general metamorphosis of the Radcliffe image may begin today when the Harvard Student Agencies starts its long-awaited bus service from the Radcliffe quad to Harvard Yard...

Coping with migratory birds, says Hardenberg, calls for close cooperation between aviation experts and ornithologists. Pilots should get bird information along with weather forecasts, he says, and the movements of birds should be followed closely throughout Europe.

Shaw collects things-bales of newspapers, a disconnected faucet, a kitchen sink, a bud vase full of screws-and he speaks and moves with the stony detachment of a man who will never again disturb the balance of his uneasy truce with life. His goal is to build a workshed out back: "Then I'll be able...
