...Montgomery corner, and he is expecting trouble from the Norris Avenue corner, whose turf is just across Berks Street. "I keep everybody together, plan any action we might take," he explains coolly. Just then a corner member, who looks to be no more than nine or ten, points a finger and yells: "Three dudes coming up. Looks like warrin' time." As the three enemy youngsters cross into no man's land, twelve of Smokey's gang set off at a run to intercept them. No weapons are visible yet, but the mood is ugly. Fortunately, a cruising...

...love, there is a silence as if the shot fired at Sarajevo had just been heard the world round. Then Nora turns to the camera with a real smash below the belt, "Millions of women have." She looks like a continental Uncle Sam jabbing his recruiting "We Want You" finger straight into your stomach. Imagine how this fired the moral fervor of the ladies in the suburbs of Detroit...

Its sushi, or raw fish, is worth the splurge--they say it's better than what Japan itself would give you. The teppanyaki or sukiyaki might be less strange to taste buds geared only to the Western way. The Korean dishes at Matsuya (1768a Mass Ave.) pull sore second, but that's no insult.

Pointing a finger at the culprit is virtually impossible. Many different ingredients constitute the mess: the 2.5 to 1 sex ratio arising out of Harvard's non-merger merger, the housing shake-up performed in March by the Committee on Houses and Undergraduate Life (CHUL), a possible reversal of the recent trend toward leave taking, a small senior class and the inadequacy of the present plan for assigning freshmen to Houses. Any one of these reasons could have made the roof cave in this Spring...
