...Abramowitz v. Boston University, a Suffolk County Superior Court judge ruled that a student had a right to display a political banner from his dormitory window where the school had generally allowed banners of any kind to be hung from such windows. The court ruled that if banners are permitted, school officials cannot decide to have certain ones taken down simply because they advocate a political view different from that of the administration. In other words, Boston University could not discriminate on the basis of the content of the expression...
...plans known. The night before the ad was scheduled to air, White approached Peter Lucas, a columnist for the Boston Herald, and told him he intended to run for reelection. Citing as a source "a close friend" of White's, the Herald ran a front-page story with a banner headline, "White Will Run."

...student front, Silber arrested and suspended demonstrators as recently as three years ago, when the hapless B.U. eight protested for divestment using the tactics of civil disobedience. In 1986 Silber threatened to expel student Josef Abrahamowitz and three friends who hung a pro-divestment banner out of a dorm window.

When Arlene mounted the stand and waited for the first playing of The Star-Spangled Banner, however, there was only silence. Then more silence. At last, as the uneasy quiet dragged on, a few of the friends who had come all the way from Illinois to cheer Arlene on, just a group of kids and moms and weathered-looking women in wind- breakers, started singing their national...
...readiest child of the week was the schoolgirl swimmer Janet Evans, 17, winsome, lithesome and as single-minded as a shark. She ditched the homework she brought from California, but plans to offer the excuse that she had to sing The Star-Spangled Banner three times. After so many trips onto the podium, Evans concluded, "It's always the same -- pure honor." The littlest mermaid sees everything in a race, but nobody can see her. She makes you want to fish her out of the surf somehow, and hoist her up some way, to uncover just what she really does...
