...effect, federal officials finally resorted to a policy of indiscriminate mass arrest, casually herding together 7000 protestors and innocent bystanders whom they unloaded into Washington's RFK Stadium. It made an innocent enough detention camp. At Berkeley, such camps have held huge crowds up to 36 hours without the "prisoners" being able to reach a lawyer. With all the impersonal malice of the law, the individuals inside such camps lose many of the normal rights of the accused because the courts cannot adequately process such large numbers-or quickly acquit the innocent. The natural by-product of these mass arrests...
...Nanette, of course, outnos-talgiaed them all. The hell with getting someone like Ruby Keeler and Patsy Kelly; they went out and got Keeler and Kelly, plus good old Busby Berkeley to go through his bag of geriatric routines.

...leaving CUNY at a time when city funds are getting tighter and the university's rate of budget growth is likely to start declining. He will stick through this year's budget crisis, which he admits is "catastrophic," and then tackle more of the same at Berkeley. His first priority: salving the cuts in Berkeley's staff (110 teaching positions this year) that Governor Reagan's parsimonious budgets have made necessary. That task, in fact, may be a relief after the strain of running CUNY's 20 units, which he seldom had time to even...
