...CRIMSON reporter ignores the real issue of U.S. government suppression of Vietnamese people and American blacks. We object to ROTC not because we dislike Harvard, but because we object to the unjust and brutal policies pursued by the government around the world. ROTC is an instrument of these policies, hence we object to ROTC. It is clear that merely denying ROTC academic credit and reducing it to extra-curricular status, or redistributing its courses in other departments, would not eliminate ROTC's capacity to secure human resources on this campus.

Charge! Under previous coaches, the Rams were noted for their wide-open offense and sievelike defense.

For the final championship fight between Rocky Marciano and Jack Dempsey, an audience of 16.5 million listened over 380 stations as the Rock loosed "a brutal shot to the heart, a slamming left and right to the jaw," and dropped the bloodied Manassa Mauler for the count in two minutes and 28 seconds of the 13th round...
...Amante Anglaise concerns a particularly squalid and brutal murder in a small provincial town: Claire Lannes kills her middleaged, deaf-mute cousin for no apparent reason, hacks up the body in a cellar and dumps the pieces from a railway bridge onto various passing trains. If there is one thing Madame Duras likes, it is a nice crime of passion, the bloodier the better. Shots, screams, strangled cries, murdered wives and jealous husbands recur in many of her stories, and so does a restless and tormented heroine. Claire Lannes is only the latest in a long line of broody ladies...
