Allison says he blames himself for the intensity of the controversy, and the consequent pain suffered by the Engelhard family. "I suspect that if the resolution that emerged had been the proposition at the outset that the controversy would not have emerged," But such a compromise would probably not have been possible last fall, when both the ad- ministrators and the students appeared adamant and the controversy looked as if it might blow over...
...Overseers. However, other observers within the department say Kilbridge received the strongest backing he has ever received in the last few years. Gerrald M. McCue, associate dean of the faculty of design, analyzed Kilbridge's departure, saying, "He's in a period of greater support than ever before. I suspect his motivation was to get out while he was ahead." McCue says Kilbridge's announcement was a surprise to everyone on the faculty, but "I think the logical explanation is that after some period of time, any professor in an administrative post would give up these chores and return...

As Entomologist Chris Simon of the State University of New York at Stony Brook writes in Natural History, when the cicadas finally emerge, it is in the shadows of dusk. They also gain protection from their monstrous numbers-as many as 1.5 million per acre. Finally, since they appear only once every 13 or 17 years, nature may have endowed them with an unlikely mathematical defense. These are prime numbers, divisible only by themselves...
