...CRIMSON'S report on the Development Advisory Service in its Registration Issue is distinguished by factual accuracy as far as it goes. It does not, however, go far enough. Had the article included certain facts well known to your reporter, your readers would have been afforded a different and better basis for appraising some of the article's conclusions...
...details of Alex Rackley's murder are complicated and confusing, made more confusing by the lack of any forum in which the factual and emotional truth of the events that occurred could be expressed. I learned as much as I could about the murder directly from the testimony at Lonnie McLucas' trial-the impulse to try to think as a jury member is overwhelming in the court-but not all of the people involved testified and the testimony of two of those who did (Warren Kimbro and George Sams) was, in my opinion, highly subject to doubt.

...CRIMSON, Life, and McCall's all greeted The Harvard Strike by four reporters from WHRB, Harvard Radio (Boston: Houghton Mifflin, $6.95, paper $3.95) as the clearest, most factual and complete, exposition of the events of April 1969.

Partly he is seeking a form where it is still necessary to practice the old, unfashionable rites of careful plotting, factual scene setting and crisp narrative.

But it remains pretty high-grade Amis...
...also contracted gonorrhea twice, which indicates Martin has done a thorough, factual job, but the reader is left short of seeing the heated interface of West's artistic ambitions and the political exigencies of his era. Part of Martin's problem lies in his understanding of the political atmosphere of the thirties. Liberal, Trotskyite, Socialist and Stalinist are used interchangeably, or with the most superficial transitions. But West's relation to the different political groups is never satisfactorily explained, consequently abandoning an important interpretive tool. The work is an invaluable source book, but "The Art of His Life...
