Prayer is manifest in Ward 4, especially on the Irish blocks, where it is framed and hung on the wall. "Visit this habitation, we beseech thee O Lord, and protect us from the snares of our enemy." The homes with prayers in the alcove are likely to contain suspicious inhabitants who quickly close the door with, "I'm not interested," or "I've read all about the war," or "My husband's out now, but when he gets back he'll tell me how to vote...
...think that certain groups of undergraduates have been forced to carry an unfair share of the penalties.

This is appalling. Three summers of rioting and out goes fifty years...
