...stocky Texan of Mexican extraction who once was an itinerant, guitar-playing Pentecostal minister. Coming to Rio Arriba in 1962, he formed an alliance to promote the establishment of a "Free City State of San Joaquin." Later he organized the Federal Alliance of Free City States, laying claim to Spanish land grants covering 35 million acres in New Mexico, 72 million in Arizona. 400 million in Texas, 698 million in California. But it was chiefly in Rio Arriba that Tijerina helped launch a campaign of terror...
...pastimes that a KGB colonel like himself engages in during his spare time: playing Bach on the lute and the classical guitar, landscape drawing. Abel's most productive leisure hours were apparently spent in U.S. penitentiaries while serving 41 of his 30-year sentence for espionage.

Last week's SFAC meeting was, in fact, the first time that spectators had been invited to participate in discussions. Nowhere in the official minutes of the meeting was there a claim that this "explicitly was not" intended to be a precedent. Moreover, the complaints about what the CRIMSON "should have" reported are both pragmatically and ideologically incorrect. The CRIMSON has a limited amount of space to devote to any given story; we neither can nor should provide exhaustive transcripts of every meeting we cover. Even so, we have devoted more space to the ROTC debate than to any other...
...efforts, Harvard can lay claim to more than a draw. All save the most fearless of its gambling partisans won their bets, and all save the most underhanded of the nation's newspapers (one thinks of the Yale Daily News) will surely see fit to play Cambridge well over New Haven in the headlines...
