While a toga-clad rabble-rouser egged them on, their legions grew to 4,000 in two riotous evenings (against a force of 32 Yard cops and proctors, augmented during the second demonstration by 25 tear-gas-tossing Cambridge police). Marching on Harvard Square and making the spring night hideous with an ad hominem battle cry-"Latin, Si; Pusey, No!" -the undergraduates got nowhere with a recalcitrant president, who (said the Crimson) would forevermore be "derided as the man who changed alma mater to foster mother...

The snake with the deadliest bite is the Gaboon viper, a hideous flat-headed creature whose two-inch fangs can bring agonizing death in three seconds...
...want our hideous past to be forgotten, and we tremble at the thought that the year of the Eichmann trial will bring humiliation." But, added the writer, "no one can deny that what Eichmann did took place in Germany and was done under a system that was created by Germans and was applauded for a long time . . . We must swallow the great bitterness...
