...profited from it, I think all the rest of us have too. Mr. Halberstam spoke several minutes ago about the lack of awe for figures in respect which The Crimson taught the people of his generation. Well, saying we learned a lack of awe is like saying that Spiro Agnew has overcome shyness in the White House. It was like a sense of awe was not the biggest trouble we had to overcome.

Lyndon Johnson once responded to a column by dismissing Sidey as an "Ivy Leaguer." (Sidey, a fourth-generation Iowan, went to Iowa State College.)

In an uncharacteristic display of independence, the Senate erupts in a barrage of catcalls and Bronx cheers until Spiro Agnew and a phalanx of Sergeant-at-Arms convince Congressional spitoons to turn on their former masters Frank Fisher, director of the Office of Career Services and Off-Campus Learning releases a report entitled What the Harvard and Radcliffe Class of 1973 Wants to Do When It Grows Up.
