...used three different wrestlers at 130 pounds, two at 137, three at 147, and three at 157. If Jan Bollinger can break in at 147, or Jeff Grant at 167 in time for the Penn meet, here this Saturday, two more new faces will be added to the mob scene that is the Harvard wrestling picture...
...Communist countries does not really expect to reform the world. But it is convinced that publicizing any infraction of the rule of law serves an immediate and practical purpose. The presence and protest of a commission jurist at the 1960 "trial" of deposed Democrats in Turkey transformed that mob-ringed Roman circus overnight into an orderly judicial proceeding.

...onetime Princeton basketball player who practiced law for ten years in New Richmond, Wis., Doar is a model of raw courage. At Ole Miss with Chief U.S. Marshall McShane, when mobs tried to block the entrance of the university's first Negro student, James Meredith, Doar risked his own life three times to contact the besieged feds in the campus Lyceum.

They translated the legitimate exasperation of Cambodian youth before the repeated humiliations inflicted on their country by the Anglo-Saxon powers." Of course the riots were comprehensible. Sihanouk had organized...
Last week demo was the sport in Indonesia, where for the second time in as many weeks a fun-loving mob-egged on by the nation's powerful Communist Party-ravaged a United States Information Service library, ostensibly in protest against the joint U.S.-Belgian rescue mission in the Congo. In Surabaya more than 1,000 jolly Javanese burst into the U.S. Cultural Center, tore down the American flag, smashed furniture, ripped up many of the library's expensive technical and scientific books, and burned it all in a roaring, heartwarming bonfire. Three days earlier, another carefully organized...
