Tell me about the rabbits, George. At the Science Center (Lecture Hall B) on Friday and at Leverett House on Saturday, Of Mice and Men features Burgess Meredith (George) providing the explanations for Lon Chaney (Lenny) in this film adaptation of Steinbeck's short novel. Steinbeck's work is an engrossing study of human dependency and love, and the often tragic results of an unequal friendship (long before Midnight Cowboy.) And also for those who like to argue whether the book was better, The Last Hurrah is at Lehman Hall this weekend. Most people think that's the name...
Another Southeast Asian country where China and the Soviet Union are vying for influence is Cambodia. Peking has a clear advantage here.

His return was brokered by the Chinese, who are vying with North Viet...
...while the NLF was working at grass roots campaigns to reform land use and to set up village councils, the Khmer Rouge was working on similar projects in their own country. But most important of all, it was assumed that because the Khmer Rouge fought against the forces of Lon Nol's regime and stood up against troops and brutal American bombing raids--symbols of American imperiallsm--that it was a good and courageous revolutionary movement...
