...stated in a letter to the CRIMSON from New York lawyer Leonard B. Boudin on March 19. "...In refusing to cooperate with the Velde and Jenner committees, the witnesses are asserting their constitutional right to freedom of speech, belief, conscience and assembly. The Supreme Court has not consented to hear such First Amendment claims in recent cases involving congressional investigations. That is not a reason for failing to assert rights which the individual citizen believes that he possesses...
...Frank "Iron Man" Cavanaugh, Boston College coach--Cheek withdrew. The CRIMSON ran an editorial calling for deemphasis, and at the debate Cavanaugh bitterly attacked the Crimeds, adding that anyone at Dartmouth who suggested that football was overemphasized would be shot at dawn.

Since he also let it be known that he had studied at St. Aidan's (Theological...
...wide variety of acting styles, but the individual performances are expert. Most unusual casting: Marlon Brando giving a flamboyant performance in the showy role of Mark Antony, Caesar's ruthless avenger. Cinemagoers who saw Brando in The Men and A Streetcar Named Desire may be surprised to hear him, minus his slurring Stanley Kowalski speech mannerisms, clearly enunciating the famous, rabble-rousing funeral oration. Less clear in his performance is that mercurial combination of demagogue and patriot, of force and "quick spirit" that is Antony's character. But Brando's characterization is more than competent...
