...bust came at dawn. The National Guard saw these kids as punks. I don’t know if they were reluctant to do their job. It was terribly sad. I don’t think anyone anticipated that it would end how it ended—no one expected Harvard to call in the state troopers...
...BOOTY It was dawn on April 9, 1942 when Japanese reconnaissance planes found their quarry. Below them, the British aircraft carrier H.M.S. Hermes and her Australian escort H.M.A.S. Vampire were cutting south through the crystal waters along Sri Lanka's east coast. Alerted to the peril, the Allied crews scrambled to action stations. But at 10:35 a.m., off Batticaloa, 70 Japanese dive bombers attacked the Hermes. Within 10 minutes the ship had taken 40 hits. It capsized and disappeared beneath the waves with 307 of its crew. The Vampire survived two near-misses and tried to counterattack with antiaircraft...

The van ride to MIT, where ROTC classes for all three services take place, is a chance to hastily fill in their answers...
...tell you that preregistration at GW is a gift. Intended only for students who have special scheduling needs (athletics, tour guides, honors students), preregistration ensures that these students will be able to maintain a carefully balanced schedule. And I assure you, only the super-psyched preregistrants get up at dawn to register. Because only a limited number of students are eligible for preregistration, there is no fuss or worry as to whether or not a class will be available at noon...
