...Crimson editors, in implying a Christian bent on the King-Driskell campaign, reveal their failure to examine the platform for its specific, nonpartisan and progressive goals. They have fallen prey to the very slander that was an attempt to divert the message of the campaign-making it that much clearer that Harvard lacks the attributes of the true community King and Driskell wish to build.

...Franklin Street resident reported that at 1 p.m. a 5'7" 40-year-old male wearing glasses, maroon pants and a white shirt opened the door to her apartment and entered as she sat in a wheelchair facing away from the door.

The politicians I get to choose from are either Bible-thumping Republicans hell-bent on a theocracy or Democrats who want to solve everybody's problems with my tax dollars.

...without a word of explanation. More dramatic than this sibling rivalry theme is Tommy's dilemma: to stay loyal to his best friend Chuckie or to fulfill his responsibility to his new brother.
