...stood on the sidewalk in front of the Great Gate at Trinity College, Cambridge, and waited for an arrival who was already 14 minutes overdue, Trinity Master Lord Butler was somewhat bemused by his position. "It is the first time I have met a student here," he remarked to bystanders. Moments later, a red Mini pulled up and the gangly frame of Prince Charles unfolded from the tiny car. After much public debate in Britain over the proper education of the heir apparent, the Prince of Wales had come to Cambridge to finish his formal schooling. Though...
...below stairs, all is ill. One by one the servants quit the mansion in fear of something they never name. Only the butler is left to serve the shambles of a meal. Midnight comes and goes, but no guest makes a move to leave. At 4 a.m., before the horrified host, the guests loosen their jackets, gowns and coiffures and abruptly bivouac on the floor.

The results: pregnant women who are moderate smokers (one to nine cigarettes a day) are 20.8% more likely than the average of all pregnant women to bear dead babies or babies who die soon...
...Butler wrote to the CRIMSON that the AAAAS was formed to express "our thoughts on our particular problems.... There is nothing malicious in our desire to be ourselves." The HCUA and the Faculty Committee on Student Activities--focusing on Afros all black composition--felt it would be a bad precedent. In addition, at least two CRIMSON minority editorials charged "racism in reverse" as did the New York Times in response to "Black Power...
