...Your reference to me, however jocular, as the "resident fascist pig" of Harvard's Adams House contained erroneous implications. Already I am receiving lauda tory mail from "rightists," confirming my fear that the article implied that I am an uncompromising hawk on the war and that I have been abused by doves at Harvard. Nothing could be further from the truth. The appellate "resident fascist" was a jest made in absolute good nature by a close friend. The vast majority of Harvard students accept returning Vietvets with much interest and understanding...
...with the San Francisco Warriors and Philadelphia 76ers, Chamberlain averaged 39.6 points a game, and even got as high as 100 points in one game-yet his teams never won a championship. Last year, he was persuaded to shoot less and enjoy it more as a playmaker and rebound hawk. The 76ers, after a 68-13 season record, went on to beat the Warriors for the N.B.A. title...
...return, President George Meany made no fewer than three first-day orations staunchly supporting L.B.J.'s conduct of the Viet Nam war.

They also agreed to disband the 11,000-man Greek Cypriot National Guard, to pay damages to the Turkish Cypriot villagers of Ayios Theodores and Kophinou for the Nov. 15 attack by Greek General George Grivas and his Guards...
Provocative Hawk. This calm was rudely shattered two weeks ago by what began as a routine police action by Greek Cypriots. Fearing that Turkish villages were becoming enclaves through which free passage would eventually be denied, Archbishop Makarios decided to reassert his government's authority by ordering a resumption of patrols by Greek Cypriot police in two predominantly Turkish villages about 30 miles south of Nicosia. Unfortunately, the direction of the operation was entrusted to the wrong man: Lieut. General George Grivas. While Makarios seems to favor an independent Cyprus with friendly relations with Greece, Grivas, the island...
