Students must expect something different at the University of Chicago, and many are initially disappointed with the unstructured student life and the sense of informality which pervades the campus. But they can quickly find their cause in the surroundings. The university is an integral part of the Hyde Park neighborhood. The students get caught up in the problems of the community, and soon feel that it is "home." More important, the students become involved in the dialogue over their own education which has been going on since the Hutchins...
...President enthused: "You've treated us like we really belong here." "You do, you do!" several men shouted in reply. Most Aussies plainly agreed. Cheering and waving, more than a million of them lined Johnson's eight-mile route into the city. But as his motorcade approached Hyde Park, several hundred demonstrators were waiting.

Army helicopters hovered over 200 policemen fanning through the fields of Berkshire. Led by Alsatian dogs, hundreds of armed officers tramped for days through the forests of Epping, Savernake and Watford. A police patrol boat even picked up a vacationing German...
Norman Mailer writes so obsessively, and says so many silly things, that the crowds he draws have learned to come with their pockets full of ripe eggs. He makes an irresistible target, like a Hyde Park orator who seems to ask for, if not necessarily to deserve, just what he gets. It is worth noting, however, that he always gets a crowd...
