Jewett admits with a slightly nervous laugh that you could interpret this trend as a hidden quota system. "I cannot disprove it except by having a bad year," he says, "and I hope we'll never have to prove it that way." Still, some critcism has come on the heels of the Bakke case which contends that Harvard does indeed strive for uniformity of "diversity." Justice Harry A. Blackmun, quoted in an article in "New Republic" by Alan M. Dershowitz, professor of Law, says, "under a program such as Harvard's one may accomplish covertly what Davis concedes it does...
...residents who disagree is Author Sigurd Olson, 79, author of The Singing Wilderness and The Hidden Forest. A trim, white-haired outdoorsman, he has been fighting for six decades to keep the BWCA free of mechanized intrusion. Says he: "Motors of any kind are a violation of wilderness values...
...scale to the City News. Rupert Murdoch, publisher of the struck Post, reportedly signed an agreement to buy the Metro if Publisher Iseman ever wants to sell it. Iseman insisted he has no such plans, but some of the city's numerous Murdoch-haters speculated that the Australian's hidden motive is to fold the ailing Post and use the strike paper as the basis for a new, nonunion daily. More likely, both Murdoch and his allies at the Times want merely to make sure that their distribution networks keep busy and that New Yorkers retain the habit of reading...
...Space Telescope, a 2.4 m (94 in.) mirror scheduled to be placed in orbit by the space shuttle in the early 1980s. Flying above the obscuring atmosphere, this observatory should pick up a variety of celestial phenomena, including infrared and ultraviolet radiation, and reveal hidden structural details of galaxies that may harbor black holes...
...late 1960s, as a research fellow at Cambridge, he and a colleague, Roger Penrose, showed more convincingly than ever before that if Einsteinian general relativity is correct, gravitational collapse will result in "singularities" that are totally hidden inside black holes. But Hawking did not stop there. Following up the work of John Wheeler's student, Jacob Bekenstein, he pointed out that there are important mathematical analogies between the bizarre otherworld of black holes and the familiar physical rules of thermodynamics, notably the idea of entropy-which says, in effect, that the universe is running down like an unwinding clock...
