...from Belfast to Londonderry. On the final day, they ambushed the students, who reached their goal with 81 injured. That night, Londonderry's police-many of them Paisley sympathizers-staged a raid on Bogside, the Catholic slum area. They beat passersby, smashed windows and shouted into darkened houses, "Come out, you Fenian bastards." Catholics responded by setting up vigilante patrols to protect themselves, closing off their section of the city to normal traffic...
...intellectual damage was even heavier. Angered at what it thought was vacillation by the university administration, the government ordered cancellation of entrance examinations for the incoming class, a move that will cripple the university for years to come. Most faculty members, in turn, are bitterly resentful of the government's insistence on hard-line tactics...

America's history revolves around the interconnected superstitions that one must deserve success; that one can (rather easily, by mere decorum) deserve it; and that if one deserves it, it will come.

Kefta Lunch. "The hippies come here for the pot, of course," says a young visitor from New York-and indeed Morocco is a hashhead's delight. Kif, raw leaf marijuana, is openly (although illegally) sold for $4.50 a pound and widely smoked in public in clay pipes that can be bought for 100 a dozen in any souk, or shop. With or without the assistance of kif, Morocco is a delight. In winter, a venturesome visitor can swim in the morning off the beach at Essaouira on the Atlantic, lunch on kefta (skewered minced steak with herbs) in Marrakesh...
