Harvard heavyweight crew is beginning to get, well, almost boring. Coach Harry Parker's oarsmen have not lost since the spring of 1973, and the most colorful thing about the crew over that period may just be the multi-colored wardrobe of shirts the Crimson has won from other schools...
...Dream is as multi-layered as any forest. Lyrically, it is basically the play as Shakespeare wrote it, cut by half to exclude most of the scenes outside the forest. Britten composed it in 1960. From the beginning of the overture to Puck's last speech the opera combines different musical modes to represent the different levels and intensities of action. The most striking distinctions are between the music moving the spirits and that moving the mere mortals. All different kinds of musical textures and harmonies distinguish the two groups. The fairies are musically represented by instruments like the harp...
...this summer, although in Fall 1975 completion of construction was expected by Fall 1976. The six mirrors, focused together by computer, will equal the light-gathering capacity of a 176-inch reflector--second in size only to the 200-inch reflector at Mt. Palomar, Ca. The cost of the multi-mirror telescope, borne partly by the University of Arizona, will exceed five million dollars. The telescope housing alone cost over $1.3 million. Herbert Gursky, the Center's associate director for optical and infrared astronomy, says researchers will use the new telescope to make a systematic survey of quasars--the most...
While observers at the multi-mirror telescope in Arizona will study the ends of the visible universe, Alan Lightman, assistant professor of Astronomy, is now reaching for knowledge out at the brink of the unknowable. In his carpeted nine-by-twelve office, Lightman is doing theoretical studies of star patterns adjacent to black holes. Existing instruments cannot observe these patterns...
...trained natives to be top-level managers. Their strategy as a whole has been not to set up complete and independent operations in individual Third World countries but to engage whole populations in mass production of only parts of those operations, leaving these countries in quasi-colonial dependence on multi-national business networks. It is unlikely that these companies will abandon these long-standing business techniques long enough to grasp Young's subtle argument about inevitable social trends and long-term benefits. And thus nationalist attempts to forge independent paths of development remain preferable, even if more difficult...
