...normally good-humored Bandy, the situation is no laughing matter. "These kids are dreaming," he says. "They don't care about property. This is a phony ghetto. These kids confuse filth with poverty. Filth is a habit, not an economic condition. . . We have gone from minority rights to minority rule. When 20 kids can decide where police can or cannot go, that's sick," he says...
...relationship between the two was not exactly perfect beforehand, however. Princeton had established a winning habit, outpointing the Crimson, 70-0, in the 1924 and 1925 contests.

Even classy settings like the Pan Am terminal at Kennedy fail to give Meyer's compositions anything you'd want to call style...
