...Kenneth M. Glazier '69, who was a past president of the Student Faculty Advisory Committee (SFAC), had experience in subdued committee meetings but never in any sort of mass arena. And it was Glazier who ended up trying to create order during the morning-after Memorial Church meeting and ended up chairing the Memorial Church group...
...afternoon of March 9, hundreds of students congregated on Memorial Church steps to stage a good old-fashioned public demonstration. Committed members of activist groups and concerned individuals, they sought two main political objectives: a "living wage" for University employees and the end of Harvard's involvement in overseas sweatshops.

In Chicago, parishioners like Paul Recchia, 29, who says the pop excesses of the modern Mass "disturbed me," have opted for the Tridentine at the ornate St. John Cantius Catholic Church--where half the weddings are now done in that fashion...
