...decisive eleventh came up, and the Niemans were ready. Paul "Papa" Houston it a pop which the CRIMSON dropped. Paul "Pro" Hemphill smacked a zinger to left. That left it up to Jon "Jugs" Yardley, who creamed a sweet pitch deep to Conigliaro country. Conigliaro being absent, the CRIMSON caught the ball after much melodrama, and then from shortstop. There was much argument with plate umpire Adam Yarmolinsky, but the CRIMSON lost...
...Rumania French students last May burst into insurrection against the retrograde bureaucracy of the universities. The revolt gained ominous momentum when the labor unions, restive at static wages and rising prices, joined the students. It seemed, during those weeks of the barricades, that De Gaulle might be deposed while absent from the country.

...original concerns of the CCAS organizers was the "irrelevance" of AAS panel topics--the Vietnam War and Communist China, for example, were conspicuously absent on the AAS program. In contrast, the two or three hundred people who attended the CCAS conference discussed such topics as "People's War and the Transformation of Peasant Societies," "The Limits of Liberal Asian Scholarship," and "Social Sciences and the Third World." Boston University professor Howard Zinn told the audience at an AAS discussion, "When I compare the CCAS program with the AAS program, I applaud...
