Unlike other college presidents, Hayakawa-devised a hard-line strategy of keeping police power on the campus at all times. His predecessors had called in the police on occasion, but during the height of the strike Hayakawa deployed as many as 600 police on campus or on call nearby. "The revolutionaries said they would destroy the college," he explained in testimony before a Senate subcommittee. "I said they would not. We had police available before trouble started, instead of waiting for the situation to get out of hand...
...insists on "informing as many people as possible, by whatever wiles we have, so that they can understand the nature of reality." His competition consists of Hollywood Squares, Concentration, The Art Linkletter Show, Beverly Hillbillies reruns and, inevitably, The Loretta Young Show. Reality being what it is, that line-up may defeat his efforts. But so far, despite occasional camera bobbles and other evidences of a somewhat amateurish crew, Tempo/Boston is far more interesting than most of Boston's local programs -and, for that matter, the network competition as well...

Denver's Aspen Airways navigates around 14,000-ft. mountain peaks while flying at 13,500 ft. without benefit of cabin pressure or oxygen (except on request). Quite understandably, the line bills itself...
...Line. That the doom was a long time coming-more than 250 years-may be credited in part to the tactical genius of another, greater emperor. Hadrian had been ruling barely five years when, in A.D. 122, a frontier tour brought him to the site of the wall. He evolved (personally, according to Divine) a radical new defense plan that helped in part to lend his name to the wall. Previously, Roman soldiers had been stationed in fortlets behind the barrier; from these they were ready to be rushed to threatened segments whenever an attack was mounted. Hadrian added cavalry...
