...Terrell fight was scared out of New York, Chicago, Miami, Louisville, and Huron. S.D., before it settled on the safe side of the border in Toronto. Amid the coast-to-coast chorus of National Anthem singing, the Chuvalo-for-Terrell switch barely made enough noise to get into the newspapers...
...Haber, founder of SDS, discovered Booth in October 1961 and became his tutor. By June 1962, Booth had learned enough to be elected vice-president of SDS at the Port Huron conference. Booth's campus life wasn't all politics: he joined the Civil Rights movement, went to a variety of political meetings, and read the New York Times faithfully, but as he explains, "there was still enough time to run with the hippy crowd." The pressure of student politics left him little opportunity to study, and in his own words he graduated "Magna Cum Difficultatis...
...more different men could hardly be imagined.

They are family oriented, many elaborately unostentatious, and no effort is made to attract outsiders?though well-sponsored families from as far away as St. Louis do not count as outsiders...
...Desbarats (pronounced Deborah) is a tiny, nondescript village on the shore of the Canadian mainland just across Lake Huron from Michigan, but when Chicago socialites speak of Desbarats they mean a wonderfully scenic eight-mile stretch along the nearby St. Joseph Channel that is strewn with small islands on which unpretentious and simple cottages are half-hidden by evergreens and maples. Moreover, they will tell you in Lake Forest that Desbarats is not just a place but a way of life?a life of complete simplicity, where everyone wears old clothes, sleeps in an iron bed, and uses bottled...
