Hayden A. Duggan '68-4, a participant in Thursday's sit-in, said "our intent was not to wreck Harvard or cause another Columbia. We simply made the jump to taking the war personally." He added that the demonstrators "did not want to stop the meeting from taking place, nor did we want to disrupt...
Dark As the Grave is much less polished. The editors carved the "novel" out of seven hundred pages of garbled and unfinished work. Intent on not adding a line that Malcolm didn't write they simply lined up the incidents of the book in chronological order and then shaved off any narrative duplication.

That kind of oil production is worth gambling for, even if the odds are against you." In addition, Charles de Gaulle relishes any chance he finds to annoy the British, who are backing the Nigerian government. A third reason may well be that a united and progressing Nigeria would be a threat...
