Through the holiday crush on Manhattan's Fifth Avenue last week walked a teenage girl with a stenciled poster: "How many shopping days until peace?" A few blocks away a giant billboard loomed over Times Square, bearing a Christmas message from Beatle John Lennon and his wife Yoko Ono. The billboard-one of eleven put up on Los Angeles' Sunset Boulevard, London's Shaftesbury Avenue and in several European and Canadian cities-proclaimed: "The war is over ... if you want it. Happy Christmas, John and Yoko...

The game ball was awarded to player-coach Ron Janis, the key linebacker, who played in his last game as a Crimed...
WHETHER we knew it or not we were saying something much more profound than the catchy Lennon tune. All the different and irreconcilable groups, the Weathermen and the McCarthyites, the Panthers and Mayor Washington, were all saying in their own way that we are finding it harder and harder to exist in America. We came to this Southern city with its stupid architecture, this pathetic town of ulcers and unreality to say en masse that we feel like orphans, we feel at odds with ourselves and particularly with this war that has grown out of us (do not make...
