...Hudson's case the self-doubt did not vanish. After a moderately happy first two years, junior year came, and Hudson's life began to come apart at the seams. "I couldn't do my work, I was failing my tutorial, an important personal relationship had fallen apart, and around November I just couldn't see lasting out the semester. Most everyone I spoke to was encouraging about taking time off, although I was also given a sense that I shouldn't just abandon the semester. So I decided to stick it out for the last few weeks...
...much violence, yet--and it seems that after two years of tinkering, the unwieldy components of the desegregation plan have fallen workably, if not neatly, into place.

Whether through Davis naivete or reporters' searching for the simplified or sensational (The Crimson ran this headline across the top of the front page: "Professor Assails Blacks' Performance"), Davis's message came...
...prairies are yellow and burnt, and at least half of the state's oats, wheat and barley cash crops have been devastated. In all, the drought could cost the state $1 billion, or half of its annual agricultural output. Since April, less than four inches of rain has fallen in the eastern portion of the state, and, for want of feed and pasturage, cattlemen there have been forced to sell livestock before they became starved and worthless.
