...ground and into the plankton of lakes and streams. Fish eat the DDT-tainted plankton; the pesticide becomes concentrated in their bodies, and the original dose ultimately reaches multifold strength in fish-eating birds, which then often die or stop reproducing. DDT is almost certainly to blame for the alarming decrease in New England's once flourishing peregrine falcons, northern red-shouldered hawks and black-crowned night herons...
Germany's Rolf Hochhuth is a demon researcher, an addicted player of the blame game, and a member of the lapel-grabbing school of play writing. In The Deputy, he buttonholed playgoers to blame Pope Pius XII for not having protested the murder of 6,000,000 Jews. In Soldiers, he is again peremptorily grabbing the audience's lapels to argue that Churchill connived at the murder of General Wladyslaw Sikorski, head of the Polish government in exile, in order to placate Stalin...

The reader has no problem except to try to enjoy himself while awaiting the obvious...
Long Challenge. Much of the blame falls on President Grayson Kirk, whose aloof, often bumbling administration has proved unresponsive to grievances that have long been festering on campus. Last month, when a group led by Students for a Democratic Society marched into Low Library to protest a university ban on indoor demonstrations, Kirk began disciplinary proceedings against six of the leaders. Feeling thus challenged, and long provoked, the SDS last week organized a defiant demonstration. The students demanded that the charges against the six be dropped, and also seized the occasion to protest the construction of a new off-campus...
