Instead, Three Thirty Six presents what it calls "News Flashes" that summarily feature Daniel Ellsberg, Larry Dicara, B.F. Skinner (complete with University News Office photo), the New Hampshire Primaries, Richard Herrnstein, and Misha Petkavich. Along the way, Three Thirty Six reminds us that "Most of us cherish the idea of free will," that "New Hampshire voters like to be wooed," and that students "have given up protest because it is just not as much fun as blowing weed and making love." Darling, shall we join the action against the JFK Building tomorrow? Oh no, dearest, I'd much prefer...

...hugging one another and raising their fingers in the peace sign. Though they elected not to testify in their own behalf, the defendants' cause was stridently reiterated in the Easter week demonstrations in Harrisburg that attracted speakers ranging from Alger Hiss and the Rev. Ralph Abernathy to Daniel Ellsberg and Congresswoman Bella Abzug. "We have a feeling that we are celebrating something of a victory," said Sister Elizabeth. Eqbal Ahmad, a Pakistani scholar and the only non-Catholic defendant, announced to cheering supporters: "My plans are to get out of here as soon as I can and go into...
