Indeed, one half-baked explanation of radical activity worked off the premise that warm weather made students frisky after long winters cooped up inside dormitories. That theory fell apart at Harvard at least when supporters of the Pan African Liberation Committee (PALC) picketed Massachusetts Hall for six dismally rainy April days last year...
...other industries. The U.S. was able to urbanize as rapidly as it did in large part because the Government helped those who chose to stay on the land to become steadily more productive. It built land-grant colleges for their sons, provided constant and up-to-the-minute weather information, paid for agricultural research, and, most important, adopted a whole series of policies that made the U.S. farmer a privileged denizen of the land...
...doctor had been a failed suitor of Maria's. When he met her then, he had come to the mansion to treat the sick child of the servant-woman. Maria was married and bored. She invited the doctor to stay for supper, and then for the night; the weather was dreadful, she said, and her husband was in town on business. She later goes to his room and offers herself. The doctor tells her she has changed, become cold, indifferent and calculating, while Maria says that she "needs no pardon" and argues that it is all the doctor's projection...
Although the Soviet Union's capricious weather and its inefficient collective farm system are the basic causes for crop failures, such scapegoats as Matskevich and Shevchenko serve handily to divert public discontent away from top Kremlin leaders. And shortages in 1972 of basic foodstuffs provided ample grounds for discontent, as citizens queued for bread in major Soviet cities last fall (TIME, Oct. 30). A recent Soviet statistical report showed that grain production fell 30 million tons below expectations in 1972, while the potato crop was down 14.5 million tons. That disaster forced the Soviets to contract for $2 billion...
...your columns to draw attention to the dangerous state of footpaths in the Yard in bad weather? Today I fell twice while trying to walk from Widener to Robinson--each time on a path that had evidently not had the snow cleared from it earlier and had not been sanded when it iced over. There was no warning posted to show this. This state of affairs is not only a danger to faculty, students and visitors, but makes Harvard liable in law for any serious harm that may result. The Department responsible must take that responsibility more seriously. E. Badian...
