Sounding a note of tradition, Barbara J. Grosz, a professor of natural sciences, gave her first lecture as the permanent dean of the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study in a crowded Radcliffe Gymnasium, yesterday.

He loped into the Beijing University of Technology gymnasium like a heavyweight prizefighter looking for trouble. Lee, who had previously expressed nervousness about competing against a national hero, stood no chance. The crowd mercilessly booed the Malaysian, while a troupe of Chinese cheerleaders dressed in skimpy ethnic-minority costumes whipped the audience into a frenzy. It was the kind of atmosphere one might imagine at the deciding game of an NBA final, but this was badminton Chinese style...
