...entire issue of the student paper Cycle to prevent the publication of an obscenity-filled article by Black Panther Leader Eldridge Cleaver. The Harvard Crimson, though relatively restrained in its news reporting, has a majority faction of New Leftists who often ram through radical editorials and feature stories. In one recent story, Crimson staffer Richard E. Hyland defended terrorism and wrote: "The only reason I wouldn't blow up the Center for International Affairs is that I might get caught...

They carried signs reading SCROOGE IS ALIVE AND WELL IN MARBLEHEAD and SANTA HAS DONE NO WRONG-DONT SUSPEND HIM FROM SCHOOL...
