...first disturbance Thursday night, a group of undergraduates gathered after the 10 p.m. Harkness bells and began shouting, "More, more!" The students began pelting passing cars with snowballs, and, after police had locked the gates to the freshman living area, over 100 men broke out and marched on the Taft Hotel...
...county-sized Grand Duchy of Luxembourg (pop. 315,000; area, 1,000 sq. mi.) is the smallest member of NATO, of the European Common Market and of the United Nations.

So far, they appear to be fighting more for themselves than in the name of the 23-year-old Dalai Lama, who with Red consent has managed to stay on his lacquered...
...skiers, the cafeteria at the bottom of the hill provides constant entertainment, sporting a remarkable group of continental types, all of whom have blond hair and Austrian accents. For a new area, Sugarbush has lost no time in developing a distinctive atmosphere; if you dress properly and speak a few words of German, no one will question your ability on the slats...
