Former professional golfer Harold L. "Jug" McSpaden, Major General Edward W. Anderson, and Baron Alexandre de Posson may appear to have little in common, but in truth they are linked by one of the strongest of bonds-they are all at present classmates at Harvard...
...work, trying to rearrange the heavy furniture and ornate rugs in the study, which showed signs of a struggle. Nosek was putting together a footstool which had a leg smashed off. Masaryk's bedroom was a shambles. The bedside table was topsy-turvy, a shattered cup and jug lay alongside, the bed was scrambled. Nosek smoothed the bed, and bearers brought in Masaryk's body.

Harassed immigration officials rounded them up in knots along the roads, in wholesale lots on farms, loaded them into yellow buses and took them back to Mexico. Last year 230,000 were caught in California alone. Most of them hustled back, were often caught again at the same job in the same field on the same...
