...Boker, Ben-Gurion spoke for a full hour to the 2,000 Israelis who had gathered to pay him tribute. "We have always been a people that resides alone, and we can only rely on ourselves and world Jewry," he said. "Our closest neighbors are our bitterest enemies, refusing to accept our existence." But Israel, he went on, "was never intended to become a Hebrew Sparta. Our strength will not be determined solely by our military power and economic wealth, but by the special content of our lives and our capacity to cling to our unique heritage...

...attributes her case of communication to Radcliffe's composition: "I'm really like a dean here-I don't even have a faculty between me and the students," she said. But communication has not always been good. The hunger strike of May 1967 was undoubtedly the bitterest period of her time at Radcliffe. Twenty-three students starved themselves for five days in protest of the policy that year to let only 36 seniors live off campus in their own apartments. Off-campus houses were in the process of being torn down or old to make room for Currier, and seniors...
