...Recent developments in dream research won't make sense without first touching on the academic thunderbolt of 1977, when a paper by two Harvard neurophysiologists, Allan Hobson and Robert McCarley, ran in the American Journal of Psychiatry. At the time, Sigmund Freud's theory of dreams (which holds, in part, that dreams preserve sleep by distracting the brain with reflections of the unconscious) was a pillar of psychiatry. In The Brain as a Dream State Generator: An Activation-Synthesis Hypothesis of the Dream Process, the Harvard pair challenged Freudian theory on virtually every point. They argued that dreams are nonsense...
...Henry Hobson Richardson, the architect who designed Sever in the late 19th century, also designed the more widely known Trinity Church in Copley Square. According to the NHL program’s website, his goal was to make Sever blend in with the Gothic and Federal styles of the preexisting buildings around the Yard. EDITOR'S NOTE The Feb. 12 news article "Sever Ranks 77 on List of Top 150 Works of Architecture" included a quote attributed to Sean R. Tracy '05 criticizing a magazine's ranking of Sever Hall as one of the best works of architecture in America...
Genitalia-friendly seats have been commercially available for years. Since 1983, Hobson Associates, based in the Los Angeles suburb of Reseda, has sold more than half a million of its noseless Easyseats, which feature a split seat that reduces pressure on the crotch and retail for about $30.

They range in price from...

On Hobson Street, Mary Rasmussen, 61, comes out to declare that she's "been through many a storm, but nothing like this." Between drags on her cigarette, she tells of a Miss Carry who is between 90 and 100 years old, refused to leave for Rita and is all alone in her little home around the corner. Lykins goes and knocks...
...Berry?s banter at club dinners, and his dedication, loyalty, and inestimable bravery-he did not leave the hall when Hobson shifted to full throttle, and threatened to fully throttle the next BLOHARD to speak-eventually earned Henry the senior vice presidency of the club. Powers, Berry, and Walter Teitz became (and for many years remained) the heart of the BLOHARDS lineup. Powers ruled, Berry regaled, and Teitz collected the dues, much of which was channeled to various anti-Yankee activities-the lunches, the formal debates, especially the ceremonial case of Narragansett Beer, the essential ingredient of the quintessential BLOHARDS...
