...takes a cool head to distinguish between campus reformers, who hope to salvage the university, and campus revolutionaries, who hope to savage it. When extremists halt classes, they kill the spirit of a university in somewhat the same way that the Nazis did in the 1930s. Seizing buildings is only slightly less dangerous. A recent Harris poll showed that 89% of Americans wanted police to quell campus rebels, whatever the radicalizing effect on moderate students. Voters are pushing state legislators for repressive laws. California has more than 100 such bills before its senate and assembly: One provides five-year sentences...
During the campaign, Yorty affected a pose of almost cocksure confidence, rarely stepping out of the television tube. No sooner were the results in than he abandoned that cool, accusing Bradley of waging a "racist" and "deceitful" contest. "I haven't let loose on him yet," he said. All the same, he has a long way to go to catch up. The candidate who finished third in the primary, Moderate Republican Congressman Alphonzo Bell, endorsed Bradley. So did the Los Angeles Times, an old foe of Yorty...
...skin to cherry-red incandescence. An intricate system of pumps and pipelines circulates fuel near enough to the skin to absorb heat and carry it to cooler parts of the plane where it is radiated away. Even so, if the space-suited two-man crew cannot take time to cool off the craft thoroughly before it descends, the SR-71 remains too hot to touch for an hour after landing...

Her evanescent tunes and lyrics primarily evoke moods, emotions and changes of scenery, instead of proclaiming social messages of political protest. They are songs about love or about a country girl's cool-eyed reaction to urban life. I Had a King is a poetic description of her broken marriage...
Surely the guy at the admissions office really didn't mean it when he said, "You can't go wrong at any of those schools you mentioned." That was just his come-on to make me think that Harvard is too cool to dump on those other seven colleges. But the Ivy Guide is just the come-on without the twisted ironic smile. And if, as the authors admit, the idea was dreamed up over whisky sours at the Pudding, then the book must have been written much later that night on the way home...
