...distressed to read the irresponsible misrepresentation of Young Demorats' intentions with respect to Rindge Tech Auditorium. We emphatically do not plan to sue the city of Cambridge. We hope that the new procedure, suggested by Mayor Hayes, will prevent the banning of any speaker from Rindge Tech in the future. Furthermore, we emphatically would not invite a speaker for the purpose of a suit. We regard it as our responsibility to present interesting and important speakers to our club and Harvard. This, and this alone, guides our program. The CRIMSON's article is especially distressing, not only because...

Yet for all his tasks and troubles, the mayor, Colonel Van Van Cua, a doctor and brother-in-law of National Police Chief General Loan, has less of a staff than many a minor province chief...
...took away the gun while Cua shouted, "I'm the mayor! I'm the mayor!" When Cua swung at them, the Americans handcuffed him and took him, protesting, to a Vietnamese police station. Brother-in-Law Loan quickly had him brought to his office to sleep it off, and next morning chewed the mayor out in no uncertain terms. But there were also Vietnamese sensitivities to be considered. U.S. Ambassador Hen ry Cabot Lodge expressed Washington's "regret" at the incident, and General Loan announced that henceforth American MPs would confine their arrests to U.S. personnel...
