...Ms. Bennett's article on Down's Syndrome she points out, in her initial listing of the characteristics of the condition, that low IQ is one of them. She then demonstrates, using the poignant example of Kathryn, that such a "child who manages to sneak by the preconceptions, although not of normal intelligence, is as sensitive, as creative and as loving, or more so, than his or her normal brothers and sisters." It should be pointed out that there is good evidence that IQ s of 100 (average) are attainable by afflicted children who have not been institutionalized. Kathryn...
Rarely has this been more apparent than at Kael's April 16 appearance at Leverett House. (Of course, the new style of Harvard audience -- spruced up and ready to kiss ass - almost insured the result.) Ms. Kael was introduced by a fellow in a three-piece suit who uttered some innocuous pleasantries about how disappointed he and the others were when Leslie Fiedler and not Kael dominated the podium at a recent PMLA convention. Two hours later, as Kael finished answering questions from the film buffs and cognoscenti who surrounded her, the more skeptical among us wondered what...
...lineups, ABC announced a carbon-copy schedule. Six shows were dropped, including the ever-boring Julie Andrews Hour, a visual Sominex that seemed to put most viewers to sleep. (Julie will, however, come back for six hours of specials.) A couple of with-it comedies were added: Mr. and Ms., a story about two married lawyers with a Women's Lib touch, and Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice, a sanitized TV version of the racy 1969 movie. Thursday night will be given over entirely to fast action, with Kung Fu and The Streets of San Francisco, two current series...
...headline of the article, one observes with a start, is more than merely suggestive. Combined with the article's subject, it constitutes a declaration that discrimination against women in GSAS admission and aid consideration is a "persistent policy" of the Faculty. Though one suspects that Ms. Juergens would agree with this claim, the body of her article is clearly concerned with de facto inequality rather than a policy of discrimination. Admittedly, it is difficult to prepare an accurate headline within strict space limitations: nevertheless, The Crimson ought to be able to prevent the sort of irresponsible distortion which occurred here...
Perhaps, however, I should be wary of arguing, as Ms. Juergens did, on the basis of such a restricted sampling of figures. I am sure that the entire Harvard community would welcome a more complete and accurate report on this subject from The Crimson. Daniel Raider...
