As they sacked a movie theater and moved in little knots through Warsaw's side streets, the students began shouting: "Czechoslovakia, Czechoslovakia!" and "All Poland is waiting for Dubček."-Czechoslovakia's new Communist Party chief...

Actually, Gordon's real estate holdings, which were once extensive in slum neighborhoods, now consist mostly of profitable downtown office buildings; only a few of the 100 or so apartments he owns are in the city...
...detailed studies of the House system. Some will be studying ways to give students a greater voice in setting parieal hours, to allow women to eat at more meals in the Houses. These plans are commendable, but they alone will not make the Houses markedly more alluring than off-campus living...
