...their hold over Eastern Europe, the Soviets might eventually repeat the Czechoslovak pattern and invade other countries in the area, notably Rumania. Still, Communism is dead as a unifying ideology.

They wanted the Catholic women's school, which includes four Kennedys (Ethel, Jean, Eunice and Joan) among its alumnae, to increase its black students and faculty, hire a black dean, provide a black student center and more courses dealing with black experience. The administration response was mild. The sitters-in were told that if the protest ended peacefully, no penalties would be imposed. One college official described the demonstrators' demands as "not unusual" and their conduct as "peaceful...
