...idea of the student body rising up appears fanciful. A group of students held a well-publicized meeting Sunday night to try to plan a mass defiance of parietals. Predictably, only 60 people showed up. At the suggestion that students should have more power or influence, Faculty members object that Harvard students already have great influence.

A sonic boom is the shock wave created by an object flying faster than the speed of sound. The sharp explosive sound is pushed along in front of the object for as long as the supersonic flight lasts. At 1800 miles per hour, or about two and one-half times the speed of sound, the SST would leave behind a 50-mile-wide "bang zone," affecting perhaps five million people on a single flight across...
