HARVARD OFFICIALS announced last week that they would not be buying grapes in the foreseeable future. By however small a margin, the action has the effect of furthering the cause of the strikers, but administrative vice-president L.

"Them niggers will never be any good," they cheerily tell squirming visitors. "They's just so dumb that all they like to do is sit around an shoot pool. Damn federal government comes down here tellin...
