...crack of an assassin's rifle. The shots that were echoing around the world after the death of John F. Kennedy, shaking the belief that the U.S.A. is the last place where the courage of an individual to fight against man's inhumanity to man would be met with the cruel bullet of an assassin, had hardly died away. And now Dr. King is dead, crucified on the cross hairs of a madman's telescopic sights. Yes, that is the excuse we give ourselves. It is the work of a demented individual. Perhaps if we repeat...

Vying for the 1,025 places in Yale's class of '72 were 6,800 applicants, all but 300 of whom easily met the university's academic standards. Princeton officials approved 100 applications a day at the start of its decision-making period this year; it took one whole week of what Admissions Director John T.
