That was no obstacle to Avatar. It promptly rounded up scores of sympathetic youngsters to hawk the paper on street corners. One by one, police picked them up. But as arrests mounted, so did four-letter words in Avatar, reaching a culmination of a sort in a centerfold consisting of four familiar obscenities in yellow, 2½-in. type. Last month, Avatar staged a mass sellin at Harvard Square. Police arrested 23 salesmen on the spot. Last week a Cambridge district court convicted 17 of selling obscene material and imposed fines ranging from $100 to $300. It was the biggest...
Between Extremes. Frustration only feeds extreme views both on the hawk and the dove side. There are some who want saturation bombing of Haiphong's harbor, then of Haiphong and Hanoi themselves, and finally of the Red River dikes. Others talk instead of a phase-down or even quick withdrawal. As it has been for so long, the President's position seems firm and fixed between the extremes. He is determined to stand fast.

...Oakland Seals. Then he might have had a good look at the shot that beat him.

Around those various properties are scattered his 540 head of cattle, including a prize Polled Hereford bull named Hardean Woodrow Masterpiece-one of whose heifers sold at auction last year for $2,500. Hull does not really expect to get that much...
While most U.S. papers have moved closer to the political center, Loeb has stayed resolutely on the far right. Warring against the twin evils of taxation and timidity in foreign affairs, he has substituted his own eagle-chicken classification for the customary hawk-dove. By his definition, even Walt Rostow and Robert McNamara qualify for the "chicken" category. "The harbor of Haiphong," he says repeatedly, "should be bombed...
