...lead pipe you mentioned: its use is in question as to whether a guard possessed it originally and whether it was struggled over. There were no "buckets of hot water" thrown by students, and the guards were bountifully armed with nightsticks and blackjacks-both weapons were used, shall we say, rather extensively. The demonstrators were not given the opportunity to leave peacefully after police were called but before their announced arrival. As they leaped out of windows to avoid imminent arrest, they were grabbed and ill-treated by the badly trained I.B.I, guards. The confrontation of the students outside...
...counters go about their work, candidates and their count-watchers peer in on them-sometimes intently, sometimes lackadaisically-from over the iron pipe railing which separates the counters from everybody else. Watching the ballots pile up and listening for announcements of precinct results, the candidates continually reappraise their situation. Witness Harvard Ed School student Francis X.

The matter in question is The Seven Minutes, a novel that records the thoughts of a woman while she is enjoying intercourse. "Filth!" cry the D.A., the church and civilian smut-busters. "Art," intones the defense and assorted experts. "Shame," says the reader who recognizes that Wallace fails to show an awareness of the 1966 Supreme Court ruling on Fanny Hill. The decision stated that a book offending community standards could be proscribed...
