Boot Off the Bench. Halas' sideline pyrotechnics will be missed most by Chicago fans. Teeth clenched, hands thrust deep into his overcoat pockets, he raced up and down the field, bellowing at his players, badgering officials, blatantly coaching from the sidelines. Trying to lend moral assistance to a Bear field-goal attempt, he once booted a 240-lb. guard right off the bench. Another time, he curtly ordered a rookie: "Taylor, we've run out of timeouts. Go in and get hurt...
Bridging the Gap. For all its deep commitment to protest and activism, the Class of '68 nevertheless seems to be more restrained than the Class of '69, '70 or '71 is likely to be. At many campuses, the instigators of the most violent demonstrations were sophomores or juniors. The seniors still see more in U.S. life worth saving, and have a far greater willingness to accept its traditions. English Major Thomas McKenna of Notre Dame rather pretentiously defines the Class of '68 as "the in-between class. We are the last of the old radicals, those who are willing...
Self-Conscious & Serious. The Class of '68 combines an idealism with a cynicism about society's willingness to embrace their ideals. The graduates do not speak with a common voice but with common candor, sometimes naively and too glibly, often with a deep faith in the perfectibility of man.

Some of the demanding and perceptive students who best express the special things that their class wants...
Price of Popularity. For Gulf Resources, profits of any amount are a relatively recent phenomenon. Founded in 1956 and armed with a concession for mining sulphur in the Mexican state of Veracruz, the company produced too little and borrowed too much, found itself deep in debt. When Allen, a former certified public accountant who had joined the company soon after its founding, became its president in 1960, he paid off the debts with company stock, brought in a new production man to raise sulphur output above the breakeven point. Within a year, the company showed its first profit...
...Been Gone rambles like a milk train over the same run that Baldwin covered in Another Country, creaks over the same hard ground, sounds the same blast about the Negro's condition, rattles the same rationale for homosexuality: "My terrible need to lie down, to breathe deep, to weep long and loud, to be held in human arms, almost any human arms, to hide my face in any human breast, to tell it all, to let it out, to be brought into the world, and, out of human affection, to be born again...
