Thompson broke this number down into 600 firms and 25 to 30 public interest organizations. In addition, McKinsey and Company and Merrill Lynch interviewed on campus, and other consulting firms and investment banks presented information to students...
...June 29, 1996 in Chicago's Daley Plaza, thugs from the Arkansas "Knights of the Ku Klux Klan," armed with bolt-studded shields and heavy flagpoles wielded as lances, marched provocatively towards the demonstration of over 100 anti-fascist protesters.

Bulger, who left elected office last year to become the president of the University of Massachusetts (UMass). This year, current State Sen. Stephen F. Lynch hosted the event, and The Crimson sent a reporter to cover it. The carefully-reported depiction of the event was an example of solid, timely coverage of local issues. The reporter, Richard M. Burnes '99, detailed the event's history and even provided background for the many jokes which he quoted...
