...Summer School, ask to be admitted to Massachusetts General Hospital, a fine place whose chief interest for us here is that the view of Boston from its roof is about the best in town. If you stay well, you can't possibly get up there, so don't bother the hospital administrators with a lot of stuff about the HARVARD SUMMER NEWS sending you. There are certain pleasures reserved fr the unwell...
Among the crimes most heinous in the eyes of the University are those dishonesty or irresponsibility. Cheating and plagiarism, of course, usually result in an unexpected vacation -- and quite often a permanent one. Drunken driving bring the same punishment, as participation in any sort of demonstration.

("Never in recent American history has such a humiliating blunder as Cuba been passed over so lightly.") In the New York Daily News, Capital Columnist Ted Lewis urged Kennedy admirers to forgive Kennedy's "petulant purge." Said Lewis: "The man in the White House is overburdened. His problems frustrate him, for none of the big ones...
