...session 24 hours a day. Nearly every conceivable subject was discussed. People from every stratum of French society came from all parts of Paris to join in. The discussions were guided only by the principle painted everywhere on the Sorbonne's walls: "It is prohibited to prohibit!" The courtyard became a bazaar representing the whole spectrum of the world's left. Overnight, at least ten newspapers appeared-some mimeographed and others printed at cost by sympathetic outside publishers. Peking-style posters covered the courtyard walls.

The event failed to come off when a couple of humanitarian Philistines spirited the birds to safety...
...freshmen streaked out the gate by Holworthy before a lone cop could lock it up. They poured across the Cambridge Common to Radcliffe, then came back through the Common toward the Houses.
