...groups might have disagreed about the reasons for the war, the structure of American society, the ultimate vision for the just society, but on the central issue of the day they were in agreement--the war must stop. Now that the war seems to be over, this bedrock basis for a firm alliance is eroding, and the two groups are crumbling away from each other...
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS will start blasting a 40-foot-deep hole in the bedrock of the Yard between Lamont and Houghton Libraries this summer to make room for the Nathan M. Pusey Library. When it is finished in 1975, the Pusey Library will be an almost completely underground, three-level addition to Harvard's library system, and the first new building in the Yard since Lamont...
...besmirched his reputation for a century and altered the politics of the day. Teapot Dome, which blew up after the death of Warren Harding, became a textbook case in every hamlet in America.

In the dozen miles closest to the dam, its enormous force stripped the soil down to bedrock in places, lifted buildings, cars and trees and hurled them downstream. A frame church was seen riding the flood's crest like a flagship, before being battered to splinters. In one community the only building left standing was the company store. Several bodies were later found floating in the Guyandot some 20 miles downstream...
