...trust-nobody style while working in what he called espionage's "wilderness of mirrors," and his pursuit of Soviet agents in the U.S. and moles within the CIA, won him respect from insiders but little public notice. He has been credited with helping to expose Kim Philby, the British journalist who worked for the Soviet Union, and with acquiring the text of Nikita Khrushchev's condemnation of Joseph Stalin in 1956. In 1974, following disclosures that Angleton had directed clandestine mail-opening and surveillance schemes, then CIA Director William E. Colby demanded his resignation...
Chun's critics, who for years have called for the direct election of the President, were outraged.

At a Palm Beach, Fla., mansion following Kennedy's summit with Nikita Khrushchev in 1961, the President dined with an old school chum, an acquaintance and two attractive young ladies. The acquaintance left after dinner and the chum and the ladies...
Seniors receive priority to transfer, and a recently adopted rule requires sophomores to stay in their house for at least two semesters, says Winthrop House Assistant to the Master Kim E. Fraser. In the past, however, sophomores could transfer after just one semester. In January of 1984, 189 students--including 77 sophomores--requested a transfer. The following semester the College passed a rule that each person must stay in a house for at least two semesters before requesting a transfer...
