...Penn Senior Dennis Wilen in one of those crashing oversimplifications that ignore history. "My class will not stand for that." The questioning extends well beyond the Johnson Administration's rationale for the Viet Nam war to the inevitability of capitalism and the viability of present political systems. The graduates insist that there is a need to fight injustices at home, not to "shoot peasants in Viet Nam"?an argument, of course, that is not the exclusive insight of youth. Some students have thus concluded that going to prison as a protest against the draft is a sacrificial...

Harthill and Cavalaris both insist that neither of them gave Dancer's Image a second dose of Butazolidin, that the "Bute" discovered in his urine after the Derby must have been residue from the Sunday treatment-although horses normally retain Butazolidin in their systems for no more than 72 hours. There was speculation that because Dancer's Image stood in ice (to reduce the ankle swelling), also received steroid and B-complex-vitamin injections, the Butazolidin was "frozen" in his system for an abnormally long time...
