Which is excuse enough--if an excuse is needed--for the new, slogan-filled way that Nicaraguans have of talking. It is their badge of victory. And if the 11-year-old literacy teacher sometimes sounds a little like a hawker of socialist newspapers in the Square, listen on, for he has much more to day. In the midst of one reading lesson, the topic, of course, the revolution, he looks up and says, "It is really evil for people to bomb their own countries...
...After all, the Cambridge Phoenix, as it was first known, was the original "underground" paper in this city, a playful, political, very-angry-or-very-happy rag put out by people who thought rag was a fine description.

Rhodesia announced that the "self-defense" raid...
...many ways a freshman is ripe for the picking. Any hawker worth his salt at registration can tell you that a freshman will sign up for or buy anything. For protection the freshman is provided with a surfeit of advisers and information sources. But how does he choose between proctor, senior adviser, academic adviser, Bureau of Study Counsel, Room 13, freshman dean, OCS-OCL, UHS shrinks, roommates and friends? The Confi Guide and Committee on Undergraduate Education guide tell him what to take and where to go. And yet he'll still have to learn by experience that...
