Parietal rules applied to student groups as well as dormitories. In mixed organizations such as the Harvard-Radcliffe Orchestra (HRO), there were special hours during which women were allowed to work in the group offices. The Student Activities Center was open from only 1 p.m. to 7 p.m. for women, and even organizations like WHRB, The Crimson and the Hasty Pudding Club had parietal hours...

But now DNA fingerprinting is itself on trial, and shadows of doubt are falling on detective work that once seemed virtually infallible.

Quite the contrary; he has remained an absolutist in defense of the institution that Marx and Engels aptly called the "dictatorship of the proletariat." Farmers could work their own plots and profit from the sale of their produce at market, but under Deng, the People's Daily remained very much an organ of instruction rather than information, to say nothing of debate. The doors of the Great Hall of the People were shut, figuratively and often literally...
