...poorly. The letter from Dana L. Farnsworth, chief of the University Health Service, and Dean Watson, declared that students should not take "mind-distorting drugs" because they are bad. Granted, such a move puts the University in the safe position of having warned its students, and provides Boston with banner headlines for a day; still it probably did not prevent a single undergraduate so determined from taking drugs, while it may have aroused the curiosity of those who had been indifferent. If the University is to guide its students, it must do so by providing information about the dangers...

Stahlman what the paper "should or should not print" about the trial. Moreover, he said, he could provide a transcript of a telephone conversation in which Bobby pressured Stahlman...

"See," she cried as she clung to a young man. "He is my son. He is my son, and I am embracing and kissing...
...this inspiration that motivated Simón Bolivar and José de San Martin in freeing the states of South America from the dead hand of colonial Spain, forged modern Germany out of a score of principalities, unified fragmented Italy with Cavour's leadership. Under this glorious banner, Irishmen and Poles and Czechs fought and died to achieve their nationhood. Its spirit was reflected in the name of the Irish revolutionary society Sinn Fein (We Ourselves...
