...Cambridge community has been treated with a book composed of sensationalist scandal (resembling a Cambridge Confidential). with the pained, painful cries of an upset individual, and with a series of brilliant insights into the sins and omissions of a group of human beings. Whether it was Mr. Raditsa's intention or not (and Mr. Raditsa's intentions will fill the air of tutors' discussions for days)the sixth issue of i.e. has appeared following the publication of the last Advocate for this college year.
