...Depression and fight World War II. Concern about paying the bills was one of his lesser burdens. It took John Kennedy only a few minutes to decide he could find $40 billion to finance a trip to the moon.

Sovereignty for Quebec was the rallying cry that helped carry Premier René Levesque and his Parti Québécois to power eight years ago.

...were evaporated. Meanwhile, Bok's underling Dean Epps does his bit for "free speech" by censoring the Harvard Hand's halftime shows. Preventing the Greatful Dead from performing on campus, and threatening two SYI ers with expulsion for participating in the protest of Weinberger. The simple statement "Behold, our butter stinketh!" was all it took for an undergraduate to be expelled for insubordination in 1766. But although the food may have improved in the last two hundred years, the men who rule Harvard have not. If you dare declare "Weinberger stinketh..." or "Duarte recketh.." with the pungent odor of burning...
