WAIT UNTIL DARK. A blind woman (Audrey Hepburn) who has become the nearly helpless victim of a trio of terrorists led by Alan Arkin tries to equalize the situation by removing all the light bulbs in the house; but she forgets the one in the refrigerator-with chilling results...

Opinions vary on the reasons for the MIGs' recent tenacity, but most U.S. pilots agree with Air Force Colonel Robin Olds, who recently returned from Viet Nam: "I don't know what has happened to them, but there has been a change up there." Some believe that the MIGs are more active because North Koreans or Chinese are flying them.

I hope that in considering possible discipline of those involved, the Faculty will not allow parochial considerations of their own convenience to blind them to the enoromous moral implications of the demonstrators' stand. Few of the many parallels drawn between the war in S.E. Asia and World War II seem to be relevant. But it is certainly possible that if the manufacturers of poisonous gases in Nazi Germany had been more actively opposed...
