Suddenly Savio appeared from nowhere to grab the microphone. Before 13,000 astonished spectators, a campus policeman then grabbed Savio around the throat while another twisted his arm in a hammer lock. They dragged him away fighting, while a reporter thoughtfully held a microphone to his face. Minutes later, Savio was freed and when F.S.M. partisans yelled "We want Mario," he naturally had to be allowed to make his speech.

Copeland's hilltop estate is only one of the largest in the woodland Delaware area known as the "Du Pont Chateau Country," where the family's estates lock one into another to form a magnificent preserve for shooting and fox hunting. Proud of their French Huguenot ancestry, the Du Fonts have given their places such names as Montchanin, Granogue, Chevannes, Nemours, Louviers and Bois des Fosses.

...halftime, the game had been close. Yale, sparked by Ed McCarthy's passing, battled the Tigers to a 14-14 dead-lock, confining Iacavazzi to only 23 yards in 10 tries. The Bulldogs scored the first time they had the ball, Chuck Mercein's one-yard plunge capping a drive which consisted chiefly of a 61-yard pass play from McCarthy to end Bunky Carter...
