Last year also there was a cry that the Cambridge police employed too many strong - arm methods in dealing with the rioters. They used plenty of tear gas and, on occasions, some stick-handling. One student came within an ace of having his eye put out by a tear gas bomb, and two went to a hospital from rough treatment. The police are not the Yard cops. They will treat rioters from Harvard exactly the same way that they will treat any Boston demonstration which gets out of hand. This spring they are likely to treat the Harvard boys more...

...with a high-pitched squeak, squeak. This week, when the Court convened after a two-week recess, Hugo Black's chair no longer squeaked and it speedily became apparent that harmony had been restored.
