...time for the propaganda to cease. It is not like The Crimson to fall prey to such unsubstantiated public relations. Students should channel their excess energizs into more constructive avenues. Phillips Brooks House can use the volunteers. But to cling to some dead issue like the CRR boycott or the abolishing of the CRR is wasteful and foolhardy. The Student Assembly will gladly put people to work to worthwhile ends. And even the Crimson needs people to deliver its papers, especially during Reading period.

Once a recruit is drawn into a cult-adherents prefer to call it a sect or denomination-its message is incessantly drummed in. The novice is seldom left alone, a prey to random thoughts. Ties are severed with his past life; communications with family and friends may be eliminated altogether, a process that critics regard as "programming" or "brainwashing."

...photographing wild animals in Africa, Van Lawick has a scientist's understanding of beastly behavior and a raconteur's way with anecdotes. But his long suit is photography: studies of sociable lions coping with the problems of love life and day care, graceful leopards stalking their prey, packs of hyenas engaging in gang warfare, and endearing cheetah families at play-all unique glimpses of the harsh beauty of a wild and fragile paradise...
