...occupiers. While the blacks inside the building read announcements and played soul music over a make-shift public address system set up in a second-floor window, supporters maintained a picket line around the building 24 hours a day during the occupation as a safeguard against a police bust. The commotion was so great that some freshmen in Yard dorms adjacent to Mass Hall temporarily moved to local hotels--at University expense...
...Paris-Nice motel and café near Paraguay's somnolent capital city of Asuncion. To various international law-enforcement agencies, however, Ricord was much better known as the owner of a string of aliases (Mr. André, Lucien Darguelles, "El Comandante") and a police record that includes a bust for theft in prewar Marseille, a 1950 French conviction as a "dangerous" wartime Gestapo agent, and links in more recent years with prostitution in Argentina and Venezuela.

At any rate, Chip Monck's near-continuous status reports--NASA style--were instrumental in keeping a possibly nasty crowd occupied...
Leave it to Mom to bust up the match. She tells her son he can only get hurt, and brazens the girl into leaving because she's "not what Don needs." Neither, most emphatically, is Mom, who nevertheless turns out to be a real heroine. Realizing after all her conniving that it is time her boy became a man, she departs in a cloud of humility, leaving Don to fend for himself and perhaps convince his paramour to return...
