...modern art. It consists of four sculptural units: "The Basic Chassis" made of wood, "The Master Chassis" made of half-inch steel tubing, and "The Stainless Steel Body" and "The Fabric Steel Body" mounted on dummy chassis. Resembling closely the sleek racers that are present on the drag strips every Sunday, "My First Car" is an exercise in sculptural design...
...youngsters who died that evening was called "Doc." No one remembered his full name; because he was a medic, they had all called him Doc, and that was good enough.

And so it was natural that The Crimson didn't cover Radcliffe and thus didn't cover-women very much at a time when some very interesting and very important things were going on there. When Mrs. Bunting was trying to drag us much against our will, kicking and screaming into some awareness of what an adult remale role was going to be for us in this society. Radcliffe stories when they were written at all were left to candidates or if we weren't lucky enough to have a comp going...
