...must never let hatred rule him." His bitterness showed when he described Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the secret Pentagon papers, as "the punk." It also showed toward the Kennedys as he related how Jack and Jackie had never once invited him and Pat to the White House for a meal, even though he had previously been Vice President. He compared the bugging of Martin Luther King's hotel rooms under Attorney General Robert Kennedy to his wiretapping of Government officials and newsmen. But he conceded: "Two wrongs do not make a right, they make two wrongs...
...next morning you wake up, with your eyes feeling like they wree lined with sandpaper and about 9:30 you head on up to the Varsity Club for the pre-game meal. I know all you uninitiated think that the football team dines on juicy sirloin steak but you are so, so wrong; Mario, the V-Club cook, serves up a plate of scrambled eggs that look like those rubber gimmicks that you lay on the floor to gross out the girls in the sixth grade and with that comes your "steak," a sad old piece of meat that chews...

Piled high in one room were bottles of perfume, washcloths and other odd items wrapped as gifts and labeled TO GOD FROM MARJORIE...

Dean Rosovsky and Fox dismissed out of hand the possibility of retaining hot breakfasts in all Houses, a move that would have cost each student an extra $18 to $30 in board fees each year. Administrators did not look seriously at the 14-meal plan, an option that would allow students to decide for themselves how important breakfast is to them. At the very least Fox should rotate the hot breakfasts each semester or perhaps monthly, since the limited breakfast plan may not survive long enough to give each House a chance...
