This column started just under a year ago as a source of computer information for students at Harvard, more and more of whom have woken up to the computer age. I attempted to make my articles as accessible to the reader as possible, and, from the reactions of readers, that goal seems to have been met most of the time...
...disruptive to claim that one has been falsely accused of anti-Semitism when nothing of the sort has happened. This is the kind of hand-grenade that Professor Frank Moore Cross throws in his December 13 commentary on the Semitic Museum dispute.

I am told that Peretz has denied that he meant to brand Stager an anti-Semite--a charge which if believed could end Stager's career as archaeologist in Israel. I must confess that I regard his demurral, if correctly reported...
