...Field rally of 11,000 students and faculty produced a strike. Classes turned into floating picnics; strike T-shirts and arm bands entered the realm of high fashion; and nightly political meetings of Politburo duration became the after-dinner activity of choice. For some, there might be dancing 'til dawn, with drugs and sex in abundance. Harvard now had far more pressing things to do than police its students' bodies...
...delivered a speech touching on a similar theme in California, Clinton used an appearance before the New Orleans Church of God in Christ to embrace the idea of curfews as a way to protect children and prevent them from getting involved in criminal activity. In touting the "dusk to dawn" curfew in New Orleans, Clinton said curfews are needed to "bring more order and structure and discipline" to young people's lives. The New Orleans curfew is credited with reducing crime in the city by 27 percent and reducing auto theft by 42 percent. Clinton praised curfews in place...
...leading man with enough juice to light up the big screen, or does he just play one on TV? A lot is riding on E.R. star GEORGE CLOONEY's first foray into the minefield of Hollywood romantic comedy.

...trial. Aum Shinrikyo cult leader Shoko Asahara did not enter a plea to charges he killed 11 people and injured more than 3,700 in last March's attack. Public interest in Japan's "trial of the century" is intense as more than 15,000 people lined up before dawn for a lottery awarding the 48 seats available to the public. Even though there are no television or still cameras allowed in the courtroom, Japanese television stations preempted regularly- scheduled programming to broadcast all day from outside the courthouse. Reporters shuttled back and forth from the courtroom to give live...
STALIN'S DINNERS IN THE KREMLIN went on all night. he would sit at a long table and force his ministers and cronies to drink, hour after hour, while he plotted and probed and flattered and terrified them. At dawn, when their brains were numb with fear and vodka and confusion, the NKVD might lead one or two of the men away, without explanation, to be shot. That was the physics of paranoia under laboratory conditions: for every action, an opposite (if, in the Kremlin, somewhat unequal) reaction. Paranoia induces paranoia. Stalin refracted violent fear through alcohol, then presided over...
