Reading Lists. One of the commonest mistakes of the novice is to assemble to single all-inclusive reading list for distribution at the course's first meeting. Rather the reading should be divided among at least a dozen cheaply rexographed handouts, each covering a narrow topical subdivision of the course's main theme, each to be deposited inconspicuously on a chair or radiator or, better yet, floor, at such time as you have effectively done with the subject matter contained therein...
...GLAZIER lives in a cramped single room on the fifth floor of Kirkland House. When I first went puffing up the narrow stairway to see him, I found a plastic dime-store sign on his door that read in mock-heroic, mock-executive terms "Kenneth M. Glazier."

And when the first interview had been set up, he cancelled it in order to take a bartending...
April 8: At a long nighttime SDS meeting, resolutions calling for immediate occupation of a University building were defeated three times by narrow margins.

After a narrow escape from an ambush on the Dalmatian coast, he was discharged as a major with a citation that credited him with arranging "more than 30,000 voluntary enemy surrenders." He returned to civilian life as a roving journalist, and as he roved, he discovered that no travel guide catered to his all-American life style...
...street from the Gilligan household in Cincinnati. I have always been a little awed by the impressive range of subjects on which my neighbor could deliver a fairly erudite opinion. But the last four years have been discouraging for Gilligan watchers, bringing three hard-fought battles and two narrow losses in unfriendly Republican territory. First came the nationally-covered Congressional race with Robert Taft, Jr., heir to the Taft political dynasty in Cincinnati. Then the loss to Saxbe, a nonentity on whom the state GOP lavished millions to defeat the man Republicans considered Ohio's Red threat...
