...convinced Allston Burr to donate a large sum of money in 1935 to establish Dudley Hall; before that, all commuting students ate box-lunches in Phillips Brooks House. Leighton believed that the commuters, who had no central meeting place, were being systematically excluded from college life. After years of manouvering, he finally established the institution, Dudley, which could place the commuting students in the middle of Harvard life...
...Chinese. Scarcely had Behr arrived before he was on his way to the forward headquarters at Tezpur. Soldier to soldier, an Indian commander told him: "We are hanging by our eyelashes." Emergency living conditions in Tezpur were primitive. "I slept in a tent, and one night a sacred cow ate my socks." reported Behr.

In Jeep and truck, the journey took 18 hours through nearly impenetrable jungles and over narrow, rutted mountain paths up to 13,000 ft. high.

Then it was off to Hyannisport, with about two dozen other Kennedys and Kennedy kinfolk, for Thanksgiving Day. The children ate in the afternoon, then saw movies in Old Joe Kennedy's 40-seat theater; the grown Kennedys feasted at 7 p.m. on a 32-lb. turkey.

Last year the intake of chicken rose 23% in West Germany alone. Demand for chicken expanded briskly in the rest of Europe, and U.S. farmers, with shipments worth $45 million, grabbed nearly half...
...sang in coffeehouses in and around Harvard Square that were populated by what might be called the Harvard underworld-drifters, somewhat beat, with Penguin classics protruding from their blue jeans and no official standing at Harvard or anywhere else. They pretended they were Harvard students, ate in the university dining halls and sat in on some classes. Joan Baez, who has long been thought of as a sort of otherworldly beatnik because of her remote manner, long hair, bare feet and burlap wardrobe, actually felt distaste for these academic bums from the start. "They just lie in their pads, smoke...
