...Memorial Hall was more than enough--Harvard's drive to amass a whole collection of them ought to be halted before it's too late. The University now seems likely to acquire the Bennett Street MTA yards and the threat of an orange-topped How-ard Johnson's being erected in our midst has been averted. What will rise in its stead, however, no prudent man can say. Seeing the practical jokes University architects have perpetrated in relatively cramped spaces, there is no way of imagining what they will do with twelve acres. Clearly, something must be done about Harvard...
...water so powerful that they could strip bark off trees. There was the Negro woman, pinned to the ground by cops, one of them with his knee dug into her throat. There was the white man who watched hymn-singing Negroes burst from a sweltering church and growled: "We ought to shoot every damned one of them." And there was the little Negro girl, splendid in a newly starched dress, who marched out of a church, looked toward a massed line of pistol-packing cops, and called to a laggard friend: "Hurry up, Lucille. If you stay behind...
...teen-agers in his protest platoon were herded into a paddy wagon. In squads of 20, 30, and 40, more youngsters left the church, were shoved into paddy wagons and taken to jail. Bull Connor arrived and yelled at a police captain: "I told you these sons of bitches ought to be watered down."

The Negro leaders intended it to be a particular, pacific kind of war. King had preached Gandhi's nonviolent protest gospel...
...belief, the United States Senator from Arizona, Barry Goldwater. He has written his name all across the sky. We salute a great scientist, James Van Allen. There are quite a few people in this room who ought to have been on the cover of TIME and haven't been for various reasons. I should like now to pay my respects to all of them by saluting one of them, one who has not been on the cover for a unique but very poor reason: she married the editor in chief. I present to you with great respect...
...Mach 2 or a Mach 3 jetliner. The FAA favors a Mach 2 plane, because it could be built more quickly and less expensively, would be able to use existing design techniques and metals. Just about everyone else, including the airframe makers, strongly favor a Mach 3. "We ought to do better," growls North American Aviation's Chairman Lee Atwood, "than just to build another Concorde." Since a Mach 3 jetliner, to resist heat at such speeds, would have to be built of stainless steel and titanium, it would take longer to make and would also require costly engineering...
