...fact of life for Cambridge architects is the Cambridge Zoning Ordinance. Mr. Weil should go read it. He may bitch about it, but as it now stands it designates in Article III, Section 1, 2 the Holyoke Center block as a Business B District (Class 9). Article V, Section 2 requires Business B District buildings to fulfill the 4.0 ratio of floor area to lot area. There are no other demensional requirements. Article V means that a building covering the full lot can be no higher than four stories, a building covering one half...
...Holyoke Center does not belong to Dean Sert and is not in his back yard; it is on the property of a University one of whose aims is the education and civilization of Mr. Weil, among others.

After five minutes no one doubts that boobery is the best that the leaders can manage, that soldiers are great guys if only left alone...
Unvarnished is hardly the word for Andrew T. Weil's extensive layman's guide to the Harvard Crimson. Although he most certainly is correct to say the Crimson is in flux, I question that he stands far enough from the maelstrom to forecast the flood's direction. And even if he were right about the passing of a golden age into something more serious and plodding, I am not so sure it would last. After all, the Crimson has always survived and benefited from both types, the Cleveland Amorys and the Anthony Lewises. Besides which Mr. Weil will have...
...however, very early that we could not begin to impose strict experimental controls (and strong assumptions) on our research until we had a broader view of the human and scientific problems involved. For this reason our first study [cited above] was purely naturalistic." (G. Litwin, R. Metzner, G. Weil, "Some problems encountered in working on the psilocybin research project," dittoed...
