...Some 30 hours after the initial occupation, the gunmen discovered a Polish military attaché, Zygmunt Dobruszewski, hiding in an embassy annex. Wysocki and his friends also failed entirely to detect the presence of Polish Attaché Jozef Matusiak, who was concealed in an attic. Eventually, Matusiak managed to crawl through a window onto the shingled embassy roof, and Swiss commandos standing by with ladders hauled him to safety...
...April 30, seven disabled students staged a "crawl-in" at North Station. To prove that greater accessibility is necessary for disabled users of mass transportation, the seven proceeded to "crawl" onto an inaccessible bus.

ABLE has also led a postcard drive to urge...

Every time RUS lobbies for a change in treatment for women, or disabled students hold a crawl-in, slowly but surely they are chipping away at the archetypal--but increasingly inaccurate--view of Harvard as 350 years of everything they...
