...leaflets had "planted" them there before making his departure. At the estimated time of the incident, about 10 p.m., John Cramer '52 and Stephen E. Hedberg '52 asserted they were "at the movies" with Hugh B. Hartwell '52, while Peter A. Brooke '52 claimed he was "at a jam session...
...Good Neighbor Mexico was hopping mad, and the U.S. was caught with its hand in the jam jar. The list of U.S. and Mexican labor, immigration, health and customs laws that had been fractured would be as long as a rebozo (traditional shawl of Mexico's Indian women).

The United Workers last week charged the government with "a design to force religion on the soldiers" by closing army kitchens on Yom Kippur, providing only bread and jam to "thousands of soldiers who did not want to fast." Other secularists demanded a government investigation of an army commander who (they said) had marched 600 soldiers to a synagogue...
