...drawing card was the Northern Communist Beatnik element. They were supposed to sit in and cause much confusion in the ranks, as they did at Cornell and Columbia. Deans Watson and Monro and University Police Chief Robert Tonis had met earlier to discuss the potential disturbance and were on hand for the big event. The Cambridge Police lurked in the parking lot, as did two men in a plain, unmarked car, whom the CRIMSON decided (2-1 with one abstention) were from...
There has always been another element of the Faculty that has simply not been reconciled to a Gen Ed program (though this group turned out to be smaller than expected.

Both sides are burying their missiles in hardened silos, greatly increasing their ability to destroy the other side entirely even if the enemy struck first. This means that the value of a preemptive nuclear strike is going down and, consequently, that it is becoming less and less logical to actually employ thermonuclear weapons...
