...surprise to find that participation in the annual spring riot carries the same penalty as cheating on an exam. It does, and one principle to remember when contemplating an expedition into crime is that the College is pretty sensitive about its position in the Cambridge community. Town-gown relations are hardly as strained as those between Yale and New Haven, yet there is a definite residual feeling of anti Harvardism in some sections of Cambridge.

Done up in black gown and mortarboard, the Attorney General's wife then told 4,000 guests about the recent White House dinner for Nobel laureates. Everything was going along smoothly, recalled Ethel, until she overheard Chemist Linus Pauling saying: "Great minds are like movie actors or sports figures-they gather together like a clan...
