...pamphlets. A few hours later, eight tommy-gun-toting soldiers broke into Dom Waldir's home, searched his belongings and threatened to arrest him as a subversive. When a local radio station canceled a Catholic program and read an army-composed editorial against the bishop instead, Dom Waldir drew up and had printed a new list of Brazil's "seven capital sins," which included low salaries, unemployment, hunger, social castes and disease. The army confiscated all copies and arrested two priests who were distributing them...
When a new gut appears, the word travels fast. Meteorology 100 at the University of Wisconsin drew 400 students one semester, 800 the next. The Rev. Thomas J. Brennan's freshman philosophy course at Notre Dame is so popular, and easy, that enrollment is limited-and athletes and foreign students seem to be preferred. Their most difficult task is putting up with Father Brennan's idiosyncrasy of flipping matchbooks at them during class. Catching them is not easy; he has developed a curve and a slider...
Anti-war votes were by no means confined to the Harvard and M.I.T. enclaves in the City, though the CNCV petition did run strongest in areas near the Universities.

And at 145, sophomore Jeff Seder pulled out a 6-6 draw with Dave Martin, when the referee accused Martin of intentionally going out of bounds to avoid a take-down and awarded Seder the tying point...
...smaller parts, mostly of parasites and people Fisk attracts into his whirlwind way of life, Joan Tolentino as a madam and Andy Weil as a barber and several drunks are funny and invariably interesting to watch. Arthur Friedman is top-notch as Drew, also as a lunatic Indian fighter speaking half in words, half in pidgin sign-language. Stephen Kaplan doing two numbers in blackface is revolting, and when revolting, Stephen Kaplan is invariably magnificent. Dominic Meiman as Fisk's secretary, among other parts, is consistently excellent, as are can-can dancer Lindsay Crouse's legs...
