ROTC was established at Princeton in 1919, and reached its peak in 1939 when 350 students enrolled in preparation for World...
...back of the I.R.A. in Ulster−and that is probably true. In the past five months, more than 300 suspected I.R.A. members in Northern Ireland have been detained. British intelligence experts estimate that there are only 20 full-time Provo activists left in Belfast, down from a peak of 1,100 in 1972. The average young Provisional is either picked up or shot within three months after he joins the I.R.A. As a result, recruits have grown younger and younger, often including 15-year-olds...

In Orizaba, an industrial town near Veracruz, a three-story building was split in two, killing 19 people. Village after village offered the same vision of destruction and tragedy: young and old sifting through piles of adobe rubble, looking for something to salvage; men balancing wooden coffins on their heads, on the way to pick up their dead...
