...howling mob, and died. By the time the four days of race war and civil strife had run their course, the General Hospital's morgue was so crowded that bodies were put into plastic bags and hung on ceiling hooks. Government officials, attempting to play down the extent of the disaster, insisted that the death toll was only 104. Western diplomatic sources put the toll closer to 600, with most of the victims Chinese...
Munro said the next day: "It wasn't a bad game; we didn't play that poorly." This is true to an extent, but it depends on what is "good" for Harvard's team these days. The Crimson played about as it had all year, but that is not really "good" compared to how well a team with that much talent should play.

...extent of the Jewish community's opposition to the talks was illustrated two weeks ago by a stormy session between Jewish leaders and Secretary of State William Rogers. Rogers assured them that "this Administration has rejected Soviet attempts to get the Israelis to withdraw from the occupied territories before a settlement is achieved." Unsatisfied with that, one Jewish leader angrily warned: "Don't think you can get our support, Mr. Secretary, for any kind of imposed settlement now being cooked up." Flustered and angry, Rogers ended the meeting. Word drifted back to the Jewish community that both...
