...Boston hasn't changed much and its past is to be seen. If history is concerned "to say everything is dead," Boston is historical. Besides the monuments and museums and the frigate Constitution, there are dozens of graveyards all over Boston: the Old Granary, the Old Charlestown, and the Old Dorchester Burial Grounds, the King's Chapel Cemetery. The burial ground at Copp's Hill, overlooking Charlestown and the river, is located "in the midst of a section of the city long since abandoned to the humblest and least favored population but yet rich in historical material."

There were only a few grumbles. Jacques Soustelle, Gaullist ex-governor of Algeria, pronounced his verdict: "Nasser wins only because he hasn't lost." Mollet entered an Assembly dissatisfied by partial victory. He saw his chance when a Poujadist Deputy, going too far, complained: "Our paratroopers died for the Queen of England."

...general lack of information about NSA which hampers full realization of its values is partly NSA's fault. For example, a report of its national congress held at the end of August hasn't as yet appeared. On the other hand, the Student Council's general lethargy has worsened the situation. Four delegates and one alternate were authorized to attend the national convention. One delegate (who left before the close of the convention) and the alternate managed to attend. Then, in accepting NSA for another year the Council refused to take full advantage of the information these people should possess...
